About This Therapist:

As a generalist therapist, I find that working within a holistic lens is beneficial within the therapeutic relationship. My clients know themselves best (in essence, they are the expert on their lives), and recognizing this, it is important to meet the client wherever they are at. I do not like to say that I "specialize" in any specific type of therapy/modality because I believe we are all life-long learners and there is always going to be growth and change in the therapy model. I will say I am have lots of experience (both professional and personal) with the following: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), working with LGBTQ+ communities, grief/loss, divorce, mindfulness, anxiety, and mood disorders (e.g., depression and bipolar).

This therapist is available as a supervisor.

Supervisor Statement:

I provide clinical supervision to therapy students and associates. Supervising new therapists makes my heart sing. I have had several really great supervisors (both clinical and work-related) and it is important to me to give back by supporting new therapists to be the clinicians they want to become.

This therapist provides clinical consultations.

Clinical experience and areas of specialization for consultations:

LGBTQ+ community; couple/relationship therapy, polyamory/ethical non-monogamy; mood disorders; divorce; grief and loss
