What's it like to be in session with me? I am warm and grounded, and I bring gentle humor to hard conversations. The atmosphere is relaxed and respectful — I don't rush to diagnose or "fix" anyone. I slow down and take the time to understand you. My approach is:

• strengths-based,

• trauma-informed,

• feminist & inclusive, and

• proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming.

As I get to know you, I will look for your strengths — not just your symptoms. Working together, we’ll find practical strategies to support you here and now. We can explore how patterns from your past, and your unconscious, shape your experience. And we’ll make space to consider how larger social and political systems impact you and your relationships. Most importantly, I see therapy as a collaborative effort. I check in about how therapy is going for you, and I welcome feedback and questions.

My goal is to create a non-judgmental space where you can discover new strengths, practice coping skills, heal, and build resilience. Depending on your needs, we can draw on a variety of tools, from somatics to Jungian dream work to CBT. Whatever brings you to therapy — anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, “stuckness,” grief, or existential questions — we can look at it honestly. When we do that, it opens up possibilities for change.

These are chaotic times. If you feel overwhelmed, angry, or frozen, that is valid. Connection is an antidote: Therapy can help you connect with your authentic self, which strengthens your capacity to connect more deeply with others, and to be in community. It is hard to show up for others if we don't show up for ourselves — therapy is a powerful way to do that.
