Who I am as a Therapist
Hello! I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who believes therapy is, at its heart, a place to feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. I work with adult individuals, couples, and families to build stronger relationships with themselves, with one another, and with the world around them. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. I strive to create a space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment.
I’m particularly interested in the ways our early relationships and attachment experiences shape how we move through the world. Together, we can explore the emotions and protective patterns underneath the behaviors that may be causing difficulty, while building greater self-understanding and choice. I draw from attachment-based, somatic, and parts-oriented approaches, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals.
I believe our bodies have important information to offer us, especially when we’ve experienced stress or trauma. Somatic practices can help us slow down, notice what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves.
I also believe that our relationship with the natural world can be deeply grounding and restorative. When it feels meaningful to you, I’m happy to incorporate mindfulness, time outdoors, or connection with the earth into our work.
As someone with multiple queer identities, I’m committed to creating an affirming space for people of all genders, identities, relationships, and ways of living. I also have experience with 12-step programs and welcome the opportunity to support clients who want therapy to complement their recovery work.
Therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. I believe laughter, warmth, and genuine human connection have an important place in the room, too. I’d be honored to work alongside you as you build a life and relationships that feel more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
“We are all related, woven together in webs of reciprocal connection, where what happens to one happens to all.” —Robin Wall Kimmerer

Who I am when I'm not a Therapist
When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me outside or making something with my hands. I love hiking, skiing, swimming, crafting, and getting lost in a good book. I also value slow, meaningful time with the people I love, whether that’s an adventure with friends, a cozy evening with family, or simply sharing a meal and catching up. I’m happiest when life has a good balance of curiosity, connection, creativity, and time spent outdoors.
