I offer therapy to people who are struggling to move forward and feeling stuck in some way. You may be feeling disconnected, carrying negative perceptions of yourself, or feeling a general sense of not living the life you want to live and wanting change. I provide a space for you to be seen and known. I want to find what is holding you back. I often work with people through challenges in relationships, in living more authentically, and in building a more secure sense of self. Together we look at the ways you protect yourself and whether these ways are still serving you.
I work from a relational, attachment-oriented lens. My approach is collaborative, exploratory, trauma-informed and incorporates parts work and mindfulness. I operate from a feminist, anti-oppressive, LGBTQ-affirmative framework.
I welcome you to reach out and share a bit about why you're seeking therapy at this time. Please include where you're located and whether you're looking for video, phone, or in-person sessions.

I have additional training in EMDR and somatic approaches to trauma from the Embody Lab. I also draw from 'parts work', existentialism, mindfulness, and a great community of therapists and creatives who I meet with regularly and learn from.
