Great to meet you!

I work from a Feminist Therapy perspective, in a way that seeks to minimize the power imbalance inherent in clinical settings, centers the client’s story in our work, recognizes that the client is the expert on their own life, and helps the client identify their own sources of power. I use a mix of Existential, Narrative, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with adult clients to try to help in various areas, including with Gender Affirming support, and support with depression and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, sexual orientation issues, social and financial stress, and experiences of oppression. I have specific experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, lawyers, artists, caregivers and teachers.

What you can expect from our first session

The goal in my work is to help clients identify what would help them feel fulfilled in their lives, work through any obstacles that they are experiencing – both internal and external, and take steps towards those goals.
