I enjoy working with people age 16+ who curious about themselves and empathetic to others. Curiosity and empathy help to facilitate deep therapeutic work even during periods of intense suffering, inner conflict, and "stuckness". My therapeutic style is warm and compassionate. I bring a calm and relaxed energy to sessions. I strive to maintain a non-judgmental openness within the therapeutic relationship in order to cultivate a compassionate relationship with all parts of our selves. I help people diagnosed with a wide variety of conditions but am particularly interested in trauma-related diagnoses.

I work with individuals 16 and up who are processing trauma, exploring their personal identity, and building self-esteem. I love collaborating with clients, who seek a curious conversation in which to explore relationships—with themselves, with others, and with ideas. My primary role in the therapeutic relationship is that of co-author rather than teacher, and I enjoy working with folks who are interested in finding their own approaches to problems with support from their communities, which may not look "cookie cutter."

I am excited to work with clients who are ready to risk stepping outside their own comfort zone to more fully understand themselves. I believe change begins with empathy. When we are empathetic and emotionally attuned with ourselves and others, we are able to change how we interact and engage with others in order to genuinely connect with those around us and create sustainable changes that lead us to a richer life. I am eager to help those confronting relationship struggles, be it family, romantic, peer, or work relationships. My goal is always to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for clients to feel seen.
