I work most within the intersecting identities of the queer, gender-expansive & neurodivergent communities, as well as with survivors of trauma/abuse from all backgrounds.
Therapy is about relationships. Whether we are creating personal healing through the therapeutic relationship, changing the way we interact in romantic partnerships, at work, or with family, or shifting our relationship with trauma and other past wounds, we are creating a new space where empathy and compassion can grow. When you make the choice to begin work in therapy, it is a radical act of love, both for the self and for others, and you can expect our work together to reflect this. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but have particular connection to the LGBTQ+, polyam/CNM, kink, artistic, & neurodiverse communities.

Sometimes we look around and life is not the way we want it to be: full of disappointment, stress, sadness or loss. Sometimes we need help finding our way. In my practice, I seek to create a compassionate, supportive space for collaborative exploration, growth and positive change. I create a place where you can be seen and acknowledged, and you can give words to feelings and experiences, to discover greater understanding and self- awareness. When we understand our patterns of behaviors and feelings, we can free ourselves of the unwanted burdens that weigh us down, and live more fully and happily in the present.

When you take stock of your life do you find it’s not what you thought it would be? Is it hard to wake up, get to work, or participate in activities with friends and family? You may feel isolated or stressed, unable to identify your true wants and needs. I know from personal experience: surviving is not the same as thriving.
I bring a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their lives through a psychodynamic lens, which means that our past experiences shape our present selves. My practice focuses on building a therapeutic alliance that fosters self-awareness, emotional insight, and meaningful change.

As a collective, we are tired; overwhelmed by our lives, our relationships, and the fate of our world. We are disconnected from the hope that once came easy to us, and we need each other right now. As your therapist, my goal is that each session helps you release feeling defeated and shameful, and embrace feeling inspired and resourced. I aim to honor your uniqueness by adjusting my pace and approach to work best for you. I have experience working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals, as well as those in ENM or polyamorous relationships.

I view my work as supporting bodies in transition - in whatever form that comes. Many of my clients face the impact that physical change has on their mental and emotional well-being through illness, life-transitions, and loss. I hold space for the experience of medical trauma; chronic, progressive, and advanced illness; chronic pain; birthing bodies; end-of-life care, and grief.
Transitions show up throughout our daily lives - not just the big moments. I also work with neurodivergence, depression, anxiety and relationship concerns to address the needs of the whole person and find creative approaches to authentic self-expression.

As an Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapist, I offer a non-pathologizing, compassionate approach grounded in the belief that we are all doing our best, often with strategies that once kept us safe or met our needs.
Collaboratively, we can explore whether those strategies still serve you and create space for new, empowered choices in how you relate to yourself and the world.
Therapy with me is relational, supportive and direct. It won’t always be comfortable AND you will be held with care and respect through it.

Using structured techniques from DBT and humanistic therapies, I will help you identify the sources of your struggles, compassionately support the parts of you that feel hurt, and help you respond healthfully to the challenges you face.

Over the years, I have also come to specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, as well as those immersed in political movements and those facing repression.
I firmly believe that therapy and personal change of any form occurs best through relationships based on trust, and a common purpose. Relationships where you are encouraged to say what’s on your mind, be challenged, take risks, and gain new insights. As a therapist, I focus intently on honoring your autonomy as we collaborate to work towards your goals for therapy. My intention is not to teach you a “correct way to live” but instead to learn about you in all your complexities as you navigate this chaotic world. I see my job as helping to create a space for you to explore yourself further leading to new possibilities for your life.
