So much of what we struggle with makes sense when we understand the story of how it began. Sometimes parts of us get stuck in earlier experiences or ideas of ourselves. They can show up in ways that feel out of proportion, or get pushed aside altogether. I believe that therapy is a space to begin noticing and tending to those parts with more compassion. I am trauma-informed, neurodiverse affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Our work is collaborative, relational, and insight-oriented- we will be investigatory partners, together.
Before my interest in therapy sparked, I spent years working in child development in schools and homes in Los Angeles and Western Massachusetts. Working with children, turns out, translates quite well to working with adults in therapy. We are all, after all, former children.
My approach is integrative and collaborative, I strongly believe that the most successful therapy is adaptive, and that what works best is as individual as you are. I draw from narrative therapy, relational and attachment-based work, and parts-informed perspectives to help us better understand your story and your patterns without pathologizing who you are.

I specialize in neurodiversity, anxiety, attachment wounds, relationship loss, and family conflict/caregiving dynamics. In therapy, we may explore how certain patterns or symptoms may have once functioned adaptively, what they've been trying to protect, and how we can build new ways of relating to yourself with more understanding, flexibility, and support.

I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is primarily grounded in Narrative Therapy, helping clients explore the stories shaping their lives and identities. I may also incorporate parts work, emotional regulation tools, and practical ADHD support while fostering a more compassionate relationship with neurodiversity.
