Suffering is a universal, human experience, and we try to ameliorate our suffering in the best ways we know how. Despite our best efforts, suffering can remain, and in response, we may fight it harder. We fight because we want to heal and be happy, but it can seem like the more we fight, the more pain we feel. We reach for happiness and healing and it feels like it is always out of reach. I believe that the path to healing, though seemingly counterintuitive, often includes a process of letting go, allowing discomfort, and pouring our energy, time, attention, and resources into meaningful directions. I work with clients with a wide range of clinical concerns and diverse intersecting identities. I approach my work with an attuned trauma-informed lens, and my specialty areas include providing treatment to BIPOC individuals with a deep understanding of multicultural factors, providing affirming care to those of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, PTSD/trauma, anxiety, and OCD. My work is primarily influenced by multicultural theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). I strive to create a space that is accepting, inclusive, and compassionate. I approach my work with cultural humility and recognize that human experience varies according to many diverse factors.
