About

As a therapist, I strive to create an accessible and caring space where you can feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self. I like to co-create the rhythms of our sessions together, checking in over time about what feels supportive and what doesn’t. I hope that our sessions can be a place where you feel both supported and challenged in moving toward your goals and dreams while acknowledging the traumatizing systems that often create barriers. My approach to therapy is relational and client-centered, and I view therapy as collaborative while ultimately respecting you as the expert of your own experience. I customize my approach to each person I meet with. Some of the practices I use come from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatics, creative arts, and liberation psychology. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, grief, loss, LGBTQIA2S+ identity, neurodivergence, trauma, and PTSD. I am particularly passionate about working with gender expansive, neurodivergent, and chronically ill people, though anyone who resonates with my approach and specialties is welcome to reach out. If you have any questions or curiosities about working together, I would love to hear from you!
