I believe building an authentic human relationship rooted in non-judgement, caring attention, and respect for your unique goals is the key to effective therapy. For me, humor is an essential tool for connection and helps soften the difficult and sometimes painful work of healing. I aim for a balance between deep, transformative reflection and practical changes that can make everyday life feel lighter.

I am a queer, cis woman of mixed heritage. I am committed to practicing with an anti-racist lens and disrupting the ways dominant culture damages everyone’s mental health.

I know it can be hard to ask for help and to trust a new person with our most difficult experiences, so I commend you for taking steps toward healing. I would be honored to be part of your efforts to build a life more in line with your hopes and values.

My roots in community mental health give me an expansive view of how change happens. I primarily use talk therapy with some somatic and mindfulness elements. In addition to in-office and tele-health options, we can discuss alternative ways to meet (e.g. walk-and-talk sessions, home visits) that best help you reach your goals.
