I’m a former high school teacher and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. My work has always centered around people, relationships, culture and identity, advocacy, care, and the stories that need telling. As a therapist, these are the values that guide my work.

I hold therapy as an intentional space to examine and find meaning in your life; to step out from behind patterns and behaviors that no longer serve you; to reconnect with yourself amidst the noise of the expectations that have shaped you; to seek repair and transform through corrective experiences; to process complex feelings; to establish a sense of grounding and clarity where there currently is none; to grieve.

I know that seeking therapy isn’t easy despite feeling stuck or unhappy, but I believe that it’s immensely vulnerable, and therefore immensely courageous. I believe you’re here because you haven’t given up. Some part of you knows more is possible — more joy, more connection, more ease, more fulfillment, more meaning.

My style is inclusive, integral, and holistic - meaning I value your multiplicity and aim to meet you where you are in body, mind, and spirit. No two sessions look alike. I utilize somatic practices, mindfulness, parts work, guided imagery, and a trauma-informed lens while drawing from relational, existential, psychoanalytic, and attachment theories. My intention is to create a mindful, collaborative, and affirming space, one in which everything you are and believe in is welcomed. I also enjoy working with symbolism, archetypes, metaphor, imagery, art and dreams as I believe they grant us access to unconscious and vivid material that words just can’t.
