My values in therapeutic practice
Genuine Care For Your Wellbeing
I provide trauma-informed care, acknowledging the influence of past experiences on your current well-being. I deeply value each individual's unique experience and perspective, honoring your personal journey and goals. My mental health counseling approach is based on authenticity and genuine engagement. In a warm, non-judgmental, and trusting therapy environment, I aim to make you feel seen, heard, challenged, and understood.
Integrated and Multiculturally Informed Approach
I am passionate about providing inclusive and affirming counseling services for all people. I am committed to exploring my own intersecting identities as a socially positioned White, queer, Jewish cisgendered female and using my privilege to dismantle systemic oppression. As a member of the Queer community, I am dedicated to creating an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy environment that embraces sex positivity, is kink-aware, promotes body/fat positivity, supports ENM (ethical non-monogamy), and advocates for disability justice. I am dedicated to continual learning; using education, advocacy, and action to ensure a safe and supportive space for all. Together, we will explore how social systems, cultural factors, and personal identity intersect with your unique journey.
Evidence Based Practices
My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing from my experience across various modalities including mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, somatic practices, existential therapies, EMDR, Art Therapy, and more. Whether you are seeking counseling support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, or other mental health concerns, we can explore one or more means of supporting you in achieving your goals.
Ensuring a Good Fit
We will work collaboratively as a team to tailor services that align with your preferences, needs, and evolving goals. I will promote and encourage your voice, support the development of positive confrontation skills, and emphasize self-advocacy. Together, we will work towards building resilience, empowerment, and healing by tapping into your inherent strengths.
