—Accepting new clients late-August 2026— I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than a diagnosis. My typical clients are smart, hard on themselves, overwhelmed, experiencing or considering change, dealing with interpersonal conflict, or just going through it. I also specialize in relationship counseling for committed partners who want to improve communication, feel more loved, work as a team instead of against each other, or finally get unstuck from an old issue or dynamic. I provide queer/hetero/poly/monog/ENM/ace/kink-friendly counseling and strive to create a welcoming environment for all.
I'm trained in evidence-based methods including ACT, CBT, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Together we can build skills (e.g. mindfulness, communication, self-compassion) to make life easier while working to gain insight and break out of old patterns. I use humor (appropriately, mostly) and give direct feedback with compassion.
I'm experienced in working with educators, researchers, and administrators, and understand the unique stressors that come with these careers. I accept the State Health Plan for individual therapy ($10-15 copay, no deductible for therapy). Whatever your background or insurance, feel free to reach out even if you just need help finding other resources!

I help clients deepen awareness and build skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. This means holding space for hard emotions, listening to what info they're trying to share, recognizing the stories your brain is telling you while taking them with a grain of salt, and coming back to the present and what's in your control so you can move forward in ways that honor what you value most.
