I have immediate openings. As a therapist, I work with my clients to build a relationship where we can encounter pain with compassion rather than judgment and shame. I support individuals navigating co-occurring mental health and addiction-related concerns, anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, helping professionals experiencing stress and moral injury, and life transitions (e.g., changes with work, retirement, onset of disability). I enjoy working with young adults coping with life changes including college, employment, and identity exploration. I am passionate about providing LGTBQ+ affirming therapy.
My approach incorporates feminist/multicultural, acceptance and commitment therapy principles, and attachment-based therapies. I am a musician with personal and professional experience related to performance psychology and enjoy working with creatives, performers, and athletes navigating performance related concerns including perfectionism and anxiety.
By holding space for your pain, our work can help you engage more fully in your life. My phone number rings directly to the front desk of our group practice, Slate Therapy. You can leave a message with our administrative assistant and I will return your phone call. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work from a feminist/multicultural therapeutic lens and incorporate acceptance of commitment therapy strategies. We will partner to understand your complex individual identity.
