Therapy Philosphy

We become who we are through the relationships, communities, and cultures that shape us throughout our lives. In therapy, I work with every aspect of my client’s life to inform a compassionate and individualized approach. My practice is grounded in a person-centered philosophy that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship, and is deeply informed by liberation-focused and disability justice frameworks.

Who I Work With

Many of my clients are adolescents and adults who have been deemed “too difficult” or “resistant to treatment”. While a significant number of my clients identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+, I welcome and affirm people from all backgrounds in an inclusive and respectful therapeutic space.

Specialties

My work centers on healing the impact of shame, and how it forms in response to trauma, social conditioning, and systems of oppression. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating:

  • Personality Disorders: Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for individuals navigating personality disorders, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)

  • Trauma & Emotional Regulation: Honoring the survival strategies that emerge from lived experiences of harm, marginalization, and erasure.

  • Addiction & Compulsive Coping: Exploring the intersection of shame, substance use, and other behaviors such as gambling, and sex that manifest due to the need for safety or escape.

  • Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating: Addressing body image, control, and self-worth through a weight-inclusive, anti-shame, HAES lens.

My practice is intentionally shaped to support clients who are Neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder). I bring a liberation-focused, disability justice, and person-centered framework to all of my work, affirming the full humanity of each client I sit with.

In addition to individual work, I provide couples and family therapy to support loved ones navigating these complex dynamics together. Whether it’s understanding a family member’s experience with an eating disorder, supporting a partner through recovery, or deepening connection across neurodivergent, gender, or cultural identities, I help families and relationships move toward greater empathy, communication, and trust. My approach is rooted in curiosity, relational repair, and systemic awareness, recognizing that healing happens not just within individuals, but in the spaces between us.
