Nice to meet you

The majority of my clinical experience is with health concerns of trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and chronic illness. As a queer person myself, I am a queer-affirming therapist and especially welcome LGBTQ+ clients, as well as clients from other diverse backgrounds and unique life experiences. The core of my work is always humanistic/client-centered, and my interventions include mindfulness, self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
