Therapy with me is about creating a warm, accepting space for collaboration where we can work creatively to find new ways to approach the challenges you’re facing, all while forming a real relationship. I’ll never pretend to be perfect, because I don’t expect you to be either. In therapy with me, there’s room for humor, relating, and zooming out to acknowledge that we don’t struggle in isolation–we’re all existing in tandem with our relationships, communities and greater systems, which have the power to heal and support us…or to throw us off balance even as we try desperately to make progress.
My style is Person-Centered and Strengths-Based. I also integrate aspects of CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, and Narrative Therapy to keep things productive, giving you concrete new tools and approaches to help you break new ground. I do some of my best work while helping people find motivation and meaning, exit overthinking, and halt old stories of self-doubt.
While our work together might take us to challenging or uncomfortable places, I’ll be right there with you to help find your way back to solid ground. If you're ready to find your peace, empower yourself toward change and experience life more fully, send me an email! I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

In the past I've worked at a private practice, a middle school for neurodivergent kids, a methadone clinic and a crisis hotline. I grew up overseas for much of my childhood, so taking care to make space for my clients' rich multicultural identities is always an important part of my practice as well.
