Many of my clients arrive to therapy to confront feelings of loneliness, fear, anger, and loss. They may be facing struggles related to sex and intimacy, parenthood, identity, family dynamics, mental health diagnoses, trauma, loss and grief, oppression, and betrayal.

I meet folks where they are in these conflicts and offer up an honest space for them to understand and respond to old, recurring pains in a fresh way.

My clients are the experts in their own experience and goals. I will witness, join, and guide you rather than hurry or sway you.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and operate from an attachment-based perspective, which means I help my clients understand how their earliest experiences with love and closeness inform their current insecurities, hopes, and fears.

I also approach this work through a relational-cultural and liberation lens. I believe therapy is political, which is to say I believe it is my job to reflect on and encourage conversation around cultural components — such as white supremacy, patriarchy, individualism, colonialism, and capitalism — that may have shaped my clients’ lives. As such, I welcome explorations of power, privilege, and identity in our therapy hour.

My approach is also inspired by an integration of other therapeutic modalities including self-compassion, psychobiology, psychodynamics, feminist theory, and existentialism.
