What if therapy wasn’t just for explosions and crises and the last effort before you give up? (Although, ya know what, therapy is great for those too.) What if you met a therapist who earned your trust and genuinely wanted to know you? You could explore that voice that's struggling to settle and wants check out the foundation even if the house isn’t totally falling apart. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity exploration: they're all normal parts of being human, but they don't have to drain you or run your life.
As a trauma-informed social work-ing therapist, I'll help you identify what you're really looking for in life, then bring in ten years of evidence-based practice (plus a healthy dose of humor and relatability) to find your strengths AND hold you accountable.
I hope therapy with me feels like chatting with someone who really cares about you, but isn’t going to let you believe lies, whether they’re from your own noggin or someone else’s. I’m going to empower you to do the hard work of healing, asking for what you really want, and regulating without the need of old harmful coping mechs. Reach out-let's heal!

I work primarily with women and queer folks to manage anxiety, support identity development, and maximize fulfillment and balance in life and relationships. I view therapy as a tool for self-investment and resistance against systems that wrongly tell us what we cannot have. Together, we will explore root causes, identify false and unhelpful narratives, and reclaim the beautiful life you deserve.

In congruence with your unique intersecting identities, I practice an eclectic mix of CBT, Internal Family Systems, humanistic, feminist, and queer theories.
