About Me

I practice relational, justice-oriented therapy rooted firmly in the belief that each person is the expert of their own life. I am trained as a generalist, but I am especially interested in and experienced with substance use, identity development and exploration, queer and trans health, relationship and family of origin concerns, trauma, perfectionism, and climate-related distress. I also specialize in working with young adults.

Outside of the therapy space, I try to prioritize rest and ease, connecting with friends, family, and community, being outdoors, and trying new things.

How I Work

I see myself as a co-creator in the process of therapy and strive to create a genuine connection with clients through which I can support them in exploring and expanding on their existing strengths and self-knowledge. By integrating narrative and acceptance-based approaches, I aim to help clients look closely at the various stories they carry about themselves and their lives and, where necessary, infuse those stories with greater flexibility, compassion, context, and empowerment.

Because our lives are inherently political and shaped by systems of power, this process necessarily involves attention to systemic and sociocultural forces as they appear in my clients’ lives, as well as in the process of therapy. I aspire to center transparency, humility, solidarity, and autonomy in my work with clients, and to tailor the process to each clients’ unique needs.
