I work from a place of curiosity and appreciation for the various identities, histories, and values that contribute to ourselves as individuals. I organize my life and clinical work around this appreciation and embrace opportunities to engage with individuals and communities who bring with them multiple identities and backgrounds. This value extends not only to differences in race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and sexual orientation but also to the differences understood in the ways we experience and interact with ourselves and the world around us. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels validating, safe, and helpful. Understanding that mental health struggles are seldom "simple," I am committed to working with individuals and systems grappling with complex and often challenging problems.
