Hi there! I am grateful you're here. In my work with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a friendly and affirming space where you can feel safe to explore all aspects of yourself. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to make meaning of life experiences. We can partner to address things such as self-awareness, acceptance, body image, healthy relationships, gender identity, sexuality, anxiety, depression and whatever else we discover as important to your ongoing journey of well-being. I hope to cultivate our therapeutic relationship through humor, curiosity, and transparency.
I offer a trauma-informed, eclectic style of practice that draws on evidence-based, psychodynamic, and relational theories. I integrate play therapy, movement, and somatic mindfulness techniques to help clients connect with their emotions and how they experience them in the body. I aim to foster curiosity and compassion around your goals in our work together
I believe building an authentic relationship between therapist and client is the key to effective therapy. As a queer, white, non-binary therapist, I am committed to showing up with cultural humility, anti-racism, and warmth in each session. I welcome you as you are. Feel free to reach out to explore if we may be a good fit.

Growth is not linear. As your therapist, we can work together to discover and adapt the approaches that best fit both you and our on going relationship. Change may be scary. It is also essential and can be fun! We can always adjust the pace and style of therapy to suit your identities, circumstances, and goals.

Who you are and who I am matters in the space we create together. As a relational therapist, I may refer to our own dynamic to make meaning of your inner world and goals. I am here to affirm that you are an expert on yourself no matter where you are at in your life. We can pull from therapy techniques to create tools that you can use to empower your trust in your mind, body, and soul.
