“And how do you feel about that!?” ---Says every TV comedy-bit depicting therapy. In reality, it can be intimidating to share our true feelings with another person- especially with a (virtual) stranger. In therapy sessions, I therefore create a warm, safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, space to unpack your story. I view you as an expert on yourself and will encourage you to honor your own inner wisdom. I value processing your unique context and how intersectional identities and structures of oppression contribute to your distress.  My goal is to illuminate the root causes of your pain and to help guide you towards healing and growth.

I truly believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the client and their therapist.

I work with adults who are struggling with life’s more difficult moments, including managing depression, anxiety, gender identity struggles, pregnancy and postpartum, and recovering from painful memories or trauma.
