Approach

I am an emotion focused therapist (EFT) by training and I incorporate dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (CBT) into my practice to tailor therapy to my clients. I am also passionate about the hope that psychedelic-assisted therapy can bring clients.

My therapy is trauma-informed and I believe clients should set the pace (with gentle nudging and cheering on from me!) when exploring sensitive topics. I seek to understand and validate first before compassionately pushing for change. I think therapist warmth and clients feeling genuinely cared about are what make a therapy environment the safest for the hard work of healing. My practice is grounded in gender-affirming, Health At Every Size®, and social justice philosophies. You deserve to have all the information you need to make the important selection of a therapist so please reach out with any questions.
