Navigating life’s ups and downs can be as much a challenge as it is a privilege. The support of a caring presence outside your circle of daily influence can help as you move through the tricky spots. I have professional and/or lived experience with anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD/ CPTSD), toxic relationships, sexual violence/ harassment, discrimination, implicit bias, career transitions & institutional betrayal. My professional journey affords me nuanced understanding of academia/ higher education, law, human relations/ resources, healthcare, work abroad, social justice & the impact of workplace investigations.
My style is warm, friendly, authentic, & direct. I offer a trauma-informed holistic approach, incorporating client-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused, mindfulness, & other strategies depending on client needs. I believe most situations can benefit from well timed levity and nothing is ever all one thing. I welcome clients of all identities.
Whatever challenges brought you here, by searching for support you have already begun/reignited your healing journey. I would be honored to join you on your path. I currently have a short waitlist. The time someone might spend on my waitlist varies based on availability/ schedule alignment.

I consider therapy to be a partnership. You can expect me to be actively engaged in discussion with you. Therapeutic approaches most likely to be incorporated into sessions include strengths-based, solution-focused, client-centered, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, and acceptance and commitment. I am further informed by principles of intersectionality, feminist theory, and social justice.
