As a queer and chronically ill therapist, I know that the world is filled with fear and grief for our present and near futures. In the therapy space, I prioritize resiliency practices that support surviving in this capitalistic world where productivity may be king, but joy and purpose is what keeps us going. I love working with clients who know they want to live their lives in fulfilling ways and are searching for what that looks like for them. Creative people need creative solutions in a collaborative space.
Connections are the building blocks for change. I help folks understand how society impacts us and the way we think and judge ourselves too harshly, while holding accountability for our own choices in life. We tell stories in session to better understand each other and find insight into our individual processes.
Mary Oliver says, "Let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." To do so, I encourage you to ask yourself questions such as, "How do I embrace all parts of myself?" "How do I live my life proudly without watering myself down to people who try to keep myself small and palatable?" Let's work together to meet you- ALL of you, in a space of connection.

I have experience working in community mental health and private practice. I use a non-pathologizing approach to help clients feel safe and supported without fear of repercussions of normal reactions to living in our over-individualist society.

My favorite clients to work with are ones that are open to collaborative problem solving and real connection. My version of treatment is one based in connection, problem solving by understanding of the social/cultural systems at play, and finding joy even during difficult times.

I use culturally sensitive and trauma informed interventions in my practice. Therapy is a place for healing, not to be re-traumatized by a professional. I love receiving feedback from clients to know how I can better support you and can adjust accordingly.
