FAQs
At this time, I consider myself a general practitioner and do not offer any specializations. That said, I am competent in working with a variety of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, identity concerns, grief/loss, life stressors and general “stuckness”. While I have experience in trauma work, it may be determined that your presenting needs are best met through specialized care (i.e. EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS) in which case I will assist you in establishing care with someone else.
What issues do you treat?
What are you not?
My clinical approach is process-oriented. So, I am likely a best fit for someone who feels ready and able to engage in vulnerable discussions of self-discovery rather than cut-and-dry problem-solving. This may result in therapy being experienced less directional than traditional, behavioral models like CBT.
How long does therapy usually last?
Treatment length varies greatly as it depends on your goals for treatment and personal context. I generally offer long-term counseling, with a re-evaluation after 6–8 sessions to assess progress. While there’s no set session limit, I view our work together as sacred and purposeful, and do ask that you use the therapeutic space to its full potential.
What is your experience working with marginalized groups?
Over the course of my career, I have worked closely with folks of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent backgrounds, and I consider continuous training and self-educating as my ethical responsibility. As a queer, white, cisgendered person, I have committed to continuous work in culturally responsive care and advocacy.
