| Therapist Intro | Hello, I'm glad you're here! I work with adults over the age of 18 with a wide range of experiences. I have a special interest and training in problematic substance use and process addictions (i.e. problematic behavioral patterns involving gambling, screen time, gaming, and sexual compulsive behavior). I’m passionate about holding space for people who are grieving a loss, people in the LGBTQIA community, and generally for people who want to find ways to live fully by their own values and explore how their emotions, thoughts, physical selves are interrelated. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you moving forward, as you are ready. My practice is grounded in an understanding that our experiences are shaped by relationships, environments, and broader systems. In my therapy approach, I rely on methods related to Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, somatic experiencing, and attachment theory. Finally, my practice approach reflects queer and feminist theory, is LGBTQIA affirming, and is committed to anti-racist and anti-ableist values. |
