Hi there! Thanks for visiting this page and taking time to learn more about me and how I will support you in therapy.

As your therapist, I will meet you where you are in this moment and provide gentle guidance and support as you move toward growth and greater self-awareness. Clients and colleagues have described me as authentic, thoughtful, compassionate, accepting, humorous, and warm. I aim to stay curious which can show up as being inquisitive in our sessions, looking into resources that may benefit our work together, and continuing to develop as a professional.

My therapeutic approach and interests are rooted in social justice and feminism. I believe that broader systems impact an individual’s lived experience in significant ways and strive to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, embraced, and valued. I am an inclusive and affirming therapist and welcome clients to bring every part of their identity into our work. My goal is to create a safe space where you are accepted for the person you are while offering you encouragement to foster lasting change.
