Today's life struggles are much different than yesterdays. On top of average everyday obstacles of navigating a busy life, raising a family, and making ends meet, were faced with political tensions, health concerns, and morals/values that we've never thought of before. Amongst all these stressors, I relate and empathize with this journey were on together. I enjoy helping today's transition-aged youth (late teen to early adult) learn to slow down in the midst of society's business, learn to enjoy this journey, find meaning in their experiences and find their way through life's difficulties, relationships and career paths.

I am a relational therapist who emphasizes a social justice approach to my work. I believe that to truly, deeply understand ourselves, we must look at the larger context within which we operate. In the therapy room, I strive to support you as you explore your own history and identity with curiosity, warmth, and care. I apply a trauma-informed lens to provide affirming care, as I believe that a respectful, supportive relationship is a key aspect of facilitating growth and self-acceptance. I am especially effective at working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and ASD, alongside life transitions and gender and sexuality explorations.

Healing and growth happen in safe and supportive relationships, with boundaries built on trust and care. I am not a “blank slate” therapist and am honest about how my identity and experience as a parent and a white, fat, queer, trans person informs how I show up as a therapist and in relationship with clients. I value principles of harm reduction, anti-racism, and HAES (health at every size), am neurodivergent-affirming, sex work-affirming, and poly/kink-affirming. I don't believe that I have it all figured out and I will not tell you how to live your life, but hope to support you in figuring out how you would like to live it.

I work from a systems approach. I believe that whether a client has privilege or not, they are affected by a system that does benefit people with privilege. A client’s family, whether chosen or biological, has an impact on their relationships and can be talked about in our sessions. The overall objective of therapy is for the client to gain tools to work through the problems in their life and update their goals for what they would like to work on in therapy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults around issues of identity, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, gender and sexuality, body image and relationship challenges.

Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.
