“There is magic in being seen by another. I aim to build a therapeutic relationship that allows you to be your most authentic self, reflect on the spectrum of your life experiences, and nurture your goals (including figuring out what they are!). My approach is trauma-informed, queer affirmative, and draws on theoretical constructs that would be most helpful for you (including IFS, EFT, somatic work, and mindfulness).”
