I have found that our connections to one another, our loved ones, and nature are at the heart of healing and joy. I bring a warm, open, and affirming approach to therapy where I aim for you to feel understood, seen, and emotionally held. My specialties are around healing trauma (simple & complex), relational issues (couples & adult-child families), divorce, grief, and boundary work. In undergrad, my focus of study was on gender and social history, as an intersectional feminist, I gained a deep understanding of the systems that we live within and how their histories continue to impact us today at multiple levels of our identities.
As a bi/queer, plus-sized, nature-loving, disabled, white ciswoman and therapist I hold space and accountability in recognizing both my privileged and marginalized identities and I would be honored to hold that space for and with you as well as we do the deep, healing work of overcoming the past, living in the present, and building towards your future.
I believe that we all have the power to heal, and while it can be the hardest thing we ever do, it is absolutely worth it. The fact that you are here, at this moment, is incredibly brave. You are not alone, you are enough, and together, we can find a way forward that is unique to your needs.

I work with clients who are looking to heal from past trauma, heal their relationships, find healthy boundaries, and work through the grief or even mixed emotions that come up with so many of life's events. Most of my clients are fellow members of the Queer community. My goal in our initial sessions is for me to get to know your story so that we can work together to create the next chapters of it.

The primary treatment types I use are Brainspotting, IFS, Feminist family therapy, Person-centered therapy, Ecotherapy, and CBT for self-care and boundary work. Most of those forms involve talk therapy in the traditional sense, but Brainspotting goes beyond speech and taps into our brains innate ability to heal itself through an eye position. For more information please reach out!
