Is there something or are there many things in your life that feel unsatisfying? Have you noticed yourself thinking how you got here but aren’t sure where else to go or what to do? Maybe you’re feeling burnt out, hyper-sensitive, or even numb. Do you find yourself dismissing uncomfortable thoughts wishing they’d disappear? Is it hard to talk honestly to your friends and family about what’s going on for you? Have you craved deeper intimacy in your relationships? Do you wish you woke up each day feeling more alive and excited about what might happen?
Whether you'd like to problem solve, vent, or dive deep into old wounds, our sessions are your time to express yourself, be heard, and receive support without judgment. Let’s explore together some of your biggest questions to know yourself better, make meaning of your experiences, and break through the noise to discover how to heal and be the most you.
I offer free 30 minute consultations, which can be requested through email or booked directly in Calendly by clicking the "My Website" button. If you're a provider looking for support, I also offer individual supervision and consultation. Please email me to learn more.

I've served some of the most vulnerable consumers of mental health services as well as those working in the mental health system, but my approach is always the same. Our initial sessions will focus on telling your story, identifying key concerns and priorities, and co-creating a plan for how we'll walk together in that direction.

I carry the assumption that people are experts in their own lives and hold deep reverence for bodily autonomy and self-determination. I recognize that the mental health system (including me as one of its agents) has caused immense harm, and that we can begin to remedy this through sharing knowledge and power and maintaining awareness of the systems that shape our world.
