I offer a depth-oriented, trauma-focused approach to therapy for people seeking insight and meaningful change. By integrating evidence-informed therapy (such as EMDR, EFT, and psychodynamic therapy) with existential depth, authentic human presence, and a nuanced awareness of context, identity, and power, I support clients in moving beyond insight into ways of living that feel more connected, intentional, and aligned. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and fear, connection and challenges in relationships, identity and meaning exploration, and internalized expectations and social influences.
My approach is grounded in a systemic lens. This means I recognize that your internal world and relational dynamics are deeply intertwined with things like your gender, race, sexual and romantic orientations, cultural backgrounds, and the power structures you navigate every day. As part of this systemic approach, I offer services to support those who engage in ethical non-monogamy (ENM), relationship anarchy (RA), and expansive relationship and sexual dynamics, including kink. Whether your identities and relationship structures are a central focus of our work or simply the context of your life, my goal is to provide a space safe enough to explore your experiences as you chart your own course outside of society’s narrow romantic and sexual expectations.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a PhD in philosophy. My specialized training in trauma and experience as a psychotherapist assist me in developing safe, trusting relationships and equip me to utilize an integrative, evidence-informed approach to therapy aimed at fostering meaningful change. At the same time, my background as a philosopher gives me the depth and tolerance for complexity to accompany you through the layered challenges of existence—like love, identity, meaning, agency, freedom, responsibility, flourishing, and death. Together, these strengths position me to meet you in the fullness of your hopes and struggles, and to walk alongside you with steadiness and care as you navigate life’s most meaningful and challenging moments.
