About

I believe that we each already hold the inner wisdom we need to heal ourselves. My role as therapist is to honor that wise voice and work collaboratively with you to create a space for the voice to grow. In my experience, this wisdom is rooted in the body and by working holistically with mind and body we are able to cultivate the connection to our truest, and most at ease, selves. My approach is relational at its core. By building a strong, authentic relationship, we work together to recognize what makes relationships feel hard and what new things we might try to ease them.

I am guided by mindfulness-based and somatic practices, feminist multicultural therapy, internal family systems therapy, and also offer EMDR. I incorporate attachment theory and polyvagal theory into my work and appreciate a psychodynamic approach to exploring how past experiences continue to influence present day.

I lean towards optimism, trust in a positive reframe's power, and know that while therapy can be hard it can also be fun. I offer a deep awareness of LGBTQ+ concerns, an anti-oppressive lens, and a background in community organizing and nonprofits. I believe therapy is the key to improving personal outcomes and to a just and equitable future for all people.
