All intersections of identity are welcome at my practice. As I minored in Sociology as an undergraduate, I’m interested in exploring cultures and sub-cultures, challenging historical sources of power, and the roles these may play on the formation of personality and beliefs. I’m a queer, cis-gender white female, and I enjoy supporting others in exploring their identities.

I use a lot of different tools from an eclectic blend of therapy modalities. Most importantly, I’m going to base my approach in what we agree may work for you, because I consider YOU to be the expert of your own life. Some modalities I may borrow from include: attachment-focused, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, self-compassion, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and existential therapy. I seek to reduce stigma around mental health with a foundation of psychoeducation rooted in neurobiology. I also require family involvement in treatment when my identified client is under the age of 18.

My therapy clients have described me as calm, authentic, supportive, honest, curious, and gentle. I’ll also be the first one to tell you that I DON’T know everything, and I don’t think it’s my job to give you advice! Instead, I much prefer to empower my clients to make informed choices for themselves. In therapy, we’ll collaborate to uncover your inner wisdom and power starting with the very first session. Whether virtual or in-person, my hope is you can view your sessions as a place where you feel you can be yourself just as you are, so we can explore all of your quirks, struggles, and strengths. I believe strongly that trust is the foundation for all meaningful therapeutic work, so I prioritize maintaining awareness around the quality of the therapeutic relationship in every meeting.
