About
Welcome! I’m Peyton, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, dedicated to creating an intentional, safe space for you to process life’s challenges. I earned my graduate degree in Social Work from Columbia University in New York City and have experience working in diverse settings. My passion is helping individuals navigate trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions while fighting against oppression, stigma, and barriers to mental health care—especially for marginalized communities. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or the weight of systemic injustice, I am here to walk alongside you. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Multicultural Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your lived experience, and empower you to heal in a way that aligns with your unique needs.
