As a therapist and social worker, I believe our experiences shape us individually and collectively, and that healing within ourselves can strengthen our relationships and communities. With a social-justice approach centering inclusivity, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism, our work is guided toward growth that honors both your inner life and your connection to the greater whole. My hope for our time together is to collaboratively discover your most authentic self, allowing the core of who you are to guide your healing journey. If you are seeking personal, communal, and spiritual growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
My specialties include LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships, ethical non-monogamy, substance use and addiction, recovery, grief and loss, and perinatal, postpartum, and parenting issues.
Having been through therapy myself, I know how important it is to hold our struggles with compassion and empathy, and how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help. I honor your courage and would love to hear from you.
