Bio
I work with both couples and individuals, and have a collaborative approach that leaves room for humor amidst intensity and gentleness amidst serious change. Whether you’re looking specifically for sex therapy interventions, counseling for multicultural relationships and identities, or renewed connection with a part of yourself you left behind, we form a team to explore life’s questions with curiosity, empathy, and a healthy dose of play.
I have an integrative approach, meaning I use different therapy techniques depending on client needs. These often include tools like inner child and parts work, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness/body awareness, and rethinking the narratives we’ve built and believed about ourselves. For couples therapy, I draw from the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and restorative justice principles to support deeper understanding, clearer communication, and meaningful repair. My hope is that each partner leaves with a clearer understanding of themselves—not only as part of the relationship, but as whole people in the world.
Lastly, I am passionate about health equity and collective liberation, and see social systems as intrinsically relevant to the therapy space. Emotionally experiencing the tragedies of our time is normal, human, and real. Clinical social work cannot merely be the bandaid that makes oppression easier to stomach; it should be part of the work that gets us free
