About My Clients

If you're feeling lost, disconnected, or struggling to find your groove in the world: I hear you. I bet there are also ways that you are yearning to express yourself; to be deeply seen and supported. Are you hoping to show up in relationships authentically? Embrace parts of your identity that are exciting and scary unknowns? Make sense of past experiences? I'm here to hold space for whatever is present for you - whether it's mental health stuff, gender/sexuality, or life in general.

My Background and Approach

I believe that you are the expert on your experiences. I am passionate about meeting you where you are, and will show up in the therapy room as my authentic self. Our sessions will be filled with curiosity, humor, warmth and consent. As we work together, I hope that you will build more compassion and acceptance for yourself, while tapping into your innate resiliencies and strengths. I use an integrative approach that is based on the needs of each client. We will create a safe and collaborative working relationship within therapy. Together we will gently hold your experiences with consent, compassion, care, and safety. We will explore stories and narratives of who you are, connection to your body, and relational patterns in your life. In sessions, this may look like being curious about sensations and feelings in the body, leaning into edges of discomfort, and exploring different parts of yourself and identity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am fascinated by the human experience; how we create meaning and become fulfilled in a world that often tells us we can’t or shouldn’t exist in our fullest expression. I hope that along my path, I can bear witness to yours with a deep sense of respect, empathy, and compassion. Outside the therapy room, I love making psychedelic rock music, creating imperfect pottery and reading sci-fi books. I spend my free time hanging out with my three cats and soaking up the sun whenever possible.
