Welcome!

I work with people who are wanting a supportive, affirming space where they can work towards healing trauma, shifting negative inner narratives, get support with the emotional weight of navigating grief or changing difficult interpersonal patterns.

I also help people navigate things like big life transitions, LGBTQIA2S+ support, and managing anxiety or depression. Communities I work with often are queer folks, ally individuals, people in non-traditional & poly family structures, and people that are neurodiverse.

With a relational foundation in my practice, building a trusted therapeutic relationship is key towards deep reflection and shifting the parts of your life that keep you suffering. Clients have told me that through our work together they have felt an increased sense of self-trust, are better able to hold boundaries, and advocate for their needs. I also help clients learn to manage their anxieties and unburden the parts of themselves that feel stuck in cycles of hurt, trauma, neglect, or shame.

Throughout my practice, I use an integrative approach of person-centered relational therapy, interpersonal awareness techniques, regulation & coping tools, IFS/Parts Work, and narrative exposure techniques. My therapeutic lens is rooted in attachment and systems; both the systems of our families as well as the social systems we live in and how they impact our mental health and well-being.

In my work with teens, I find providing an open, compassionate, and supportive space helps cultivate the trust and safety needed for honest communication. I often help my younger clients with managing anxiety, navigating grief, improving self-esteem, exploring identity development, and difficult relational challenges.

In my work with relationships, I use an interpersonal and attachment lens to help people shift patterns that keep them feeling disconnected, unheard and insecure. If you have interpersonal trauma, harmful inner narratives or unmet emotional needs, you deserve an approachable, affirming space that supports the vulnerability it takes to work towards change. That is the space I strive to cultivate with all clients I work with.

As a queer therapist, I understand how meaningful it can be to have a therapist that understands your lived experience. Additionally, I work to stay curious towards and mindful of the ways my own privileged and marginalized identities intersect with and impact my clients and the ways we discuss and experience mental health.

In network with BCBS/Regence, Aetna & MODA.
