As a clinical social worker, I work from a strengths-based, person-centered, and deeply collaborative perspective. We become a team in your therapy journey. My approach to therapy is integrative, and I draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic frameworks to support individual needs and goals. I also believe humor can play an important role in the therapeutic process. Clients work hard in therapy, and moments of levity can help reframe and normalize struggles in a positive or relieving manner.

Facing a new challenge, dealing with past hurt, or just trying to figure out the source of your distress? People seek therapy for a host of reasons, but at the root, we are often looking to live more fully, freely, and joyfully in a world that doesn’t always make space for us. I provide an affirming, anti-oppressive space where you can be heard, gain insight, and work toward meaningful, lasting change on your own terms. As a queer woman committed to liberatory healing, my work is informed by over two decades of experience in community-based mental health, harm reduction, and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

I love helping lawyers and other stressed out and exhausted human beings heal, grow, and thrive. Whether in individual, couple, or group therapy, I help people reconnect to themselves and the people they love. As a former BigLaw and in-house lawyer, I know how the overwhelming stress and demands of intense professions can take a toll on both us and our relationships. I help my clients tame that stress and build lives and relationships full of meaning, peace, and joy.

As someone who has sat on both sides of the therapist’s office, I deeply believe that healing is possible for everyone. I view the main vehicle for this change as connection: with me, with yourself, with your body, with others in your life, with your environment, and with broader social movements and communities. As your therapist, I will invest in building a safe and trustworthy relationship over time, through curiosity, authenticity, and transparency. It’s important to me to understand and address how power, oppression, and your multifaceted identities influence your life, as none of us heal in a vacuum.

My ideal client is someone who has spent much of their life holding it all together, often in silence. They may be grieving, navigating anxiety, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—despite years of effort. Many are healing from emotionally unavailable parenting, childhood trauma, or recent loss. They want to feel more present, connected, and at ease in their relationships and within themselves. Most of all, they’re ready to begin understanding not just why they feel this way, but how to truly heal.
