Background and Experience
I have many years of experience supporting clients in outpatient clinics, school settings, and Residential levels of care for clients with acute co-occurring diagnoses. I have lots of experience working with neurodiverse individuals, and bring a neuroaffirmative approach to integrating a client’s ND experience into their treatment goals. I follow an integrative approach supporting clients who are balancing intersectional identities personally and within their families and partnerships, including those exploring nascent or new discoveries that clients are integrating into their sense of self.
I am a life long learner and love deepening my training and skills as a clinician. I am trained in EMDR and have completed advanced trainings to offer EMDR to neurodiverse clients, couples, parents, and clients with complex trauma and co-occurring disorders. In addition to EMDR, I have completed in-depth trainings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Beyond supporting symptoms that are distressing, I aspire to support my clients to increase pleasure and connection in their lives and with others. I’m a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP) and can support clients around desire and pleasure discrepancies, and I’m trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1).
I became a therapist after a decade of working in Partnerships and Business Development at Google. Having worked in a fast-paced environment with varied personalities, I enjoy supporting clients who are trying to navigate their personal and professional lives while increasing their personal sense of agency and maintaining integrity with their values.
