I believe psychotherapy is situated within cultural and societal contexts. Dominant beliefs and systems of oppression related (and not limited to) gender, sexuality, socio-economic class, race, ethnicity and mental health can restrict and impact self-expression and life mobility. These influences, in addition to familial patterns, societal marginalization, relationship trauma and sexual oppression are just some of the ways we can feel held back from living authentically and fully expressed in our lives. I hold your unique experience with respect and curiosity to support your freedom to live deeply and in integrity with who you are.

What to expect from therapy:

  1. Initial Assessment: We start right away with clarifying and discovering patterns and obstacles that lead to your struggles.

  2. Customized Treatment: Together we will identify the type of therapeutic work that best suits you and update it as needed.

  3. Active Engagement and Hard Work: You and I can face the challenges (anxiety, protective mechanisms) that cause you suffering. This usually includes safely experiencing thoughts and states that are typically avoided. We then process and make sense of this material to help you progress towards your therapeutic goals

  4. Ongoing Review: Track progress, refine strategies, and celebrate each milestone.
