Who I am as a Therapist
As my client, you can expect to be provided with a warm, affirming, authentic, and non-judgemental space to be yourself. I am a firm believer that my clients are the experts of their experiences and I have the great honor to support you on your path of healing and growth! We will collaborate to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable to bring your authentic self into our sessions and ensure you feel supported in working towards your goals to be who you want to be.
I practice from trauma-informed, affirming, and anti-racist lenses and enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and identities. I am especially passionate about providing informed services for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and BIPOC communities, with careful attention and acknowledgement to how my own identities have an impact on our therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with clients of diverse and intersectional racial, ethnic, cultural, sexual, gender, identities and backgrounds.
I practice from a primarily humanistic and relational approach and may weave in interventions from other modalities as is relavent to meet your goals. In my practice as a therapist, I focus on integrating your culture, values, and beliefs to connect to community and natural support systems. I am passionate about working with families, young children, adolescents, and emerging adulthood clients! I am looking forward to meeting with and working alongside you.

Who I am when I’m not a Therapist
Outside of being a therapist, I have dedicated this year to increasing the play in my life, so I try to squeeze in moments of doing things that bring me joy most days! In my free time, you can find me browsing local yarn shops (my favorites are Starlight Knitting Society, Ritual Dyes, and For Yarns Sake), knitting or crocheting, grabbing an oat milk latte from a coffee shop, attending a yoga class, or cooking at home! I am learning to use an inflatable paddle board this summer and plan to float peacefully on one of our local rivers from time to time.
