THE DBT TEAM

I bring a feminist, queer-affirming perspective to my practice of psychotherapy, focusing on non-judgmental, collaborative, and behaviorally-specific interventions. I will work with you to improve functioning, reduce distress, and increase long-term, positive consequences based on your goals and values. I have clinical experience with Bipolar Disorders, Depression, Anxiety & Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Behaviors, Trauma, Disordered Eating, Identity Issues/Confusion, Substance Use/Addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Grief/Loss. The interplay between change and acceptance is very important to my clinical orientation; utilizing your strengths, our work will always come from a place of compassion. You are the expert on your life.

Everyone comes to The Work in their own way, for their own reasons, in their own time. For some, that reason is to seek a safe space to explore and grow as they need. For others it's a dedicated ear and a mind trained to help them resolve emotional conflicts, stress, anxiety, and depression. Still others long to be seen and embraced (in all of their complexity and nuance). Whatever journey has led you here, my goal is to help you step into the fullness of your beautiful self and live the best life possible. My therapeutic style is integrative, person-centered, and anti-oppressive, with a focus on empowerment and embodied change. All services are: ​Kink, Poly/CNM, SW, and neurodiversity affirming.

I strive to create a therapeutic space where you will not be pathologized, where your strengths will be recognized, and your vulnerability kept safe. I hope that our work together might help you navigate life changes, gain insight into frustrating patterns of behavior, improve relationships in your life, and/or explore and heal from trauma. I have training and expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and draw from anti-oppressive and liberatory therapeutic approaches to uplift the expertise my clients also bring to our treatment. Often my clients identify as LGBTQ, trans, non-binary, ethically non-monogamous, kink and BDSM-oriented, sex workers, creatives, and activists. DBT and mindfulness inform my approach to relationship counseling. In relationship counseling I invite partners to come together to learn skills to mitigate conflict, tolerate distress, communicate, and attune to each other.
