I am a queer, Swedish-German American, cis-gender woman with chronic illness and an artist’s eye.
The systems in place – the white supremacist, colonial capitalist patriarchy – have marred, exploited, shamed and erased so many of us. I believe you have an immense power inside you to rise and to heal. To come alongside you, I use EMDR (trauma reprocessing), IFS (parts work), art based therapy and an intersectional womanist approach to narrative therapy.

I provide care that is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive.
Change is an inevitable force in our lives, and coping with change can be a challenging, exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying process. We may feel out of control of the changes in our lives, even if we initiate or desire these changes. Coping with the challenges we face in life is a complicated process. I provide a warm, open, and honest place to explore and reckon with this tension, using humor and creativity. I work with individuals and couples ages 18 and up who are coping with depression, anxiety, attachment style issues, adjustment challenges, grief, and trauma.

Plus, if personally relevant, you'll find that my LGBTQ-centered perspective on relationships and trans affirming healthcare are core values in my work.
I offer psychoanalysis/psychoanalytic therapy for overcoming anxiety, depression and emotional difficulties at all phases of life. For many, a starting place in therapy may be describing concrete symptoms of pain and illness in your body, and/or life stressors such as finances, relationships, responsibilities, social/political stress, disease/chronic conditions. These topical, real-world struggles are important entry points to your emotional world and your inner life.
