Who I am as a Therapist

I believe that healing starts with deepening curiosity about how we connect with other beings and with ourselves, honoring all the emotions that move us – grief, sadness, anger, joy – as trailheads toward how we make meaning in the world. Together in therapy, we’ll reflect on the story of your life as it is written (and re-written) through your day-to-day experiences. Our stories are shaped by the systems we are a part of: our families, social circles, political spheres, and ecosystems. Knowing that these systems interact with each of us differently, socio-cultural sensitivity is a cornerstone of my practice. I aim to hold an affirming & uplifting space for those with LGBTQIIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and other socially marginalized identities.

I work with people of all backgrounds – individuals, couples, children, and families. I especially love working with fellow neurodivergent and queer adults and teens around identity exploration, complex trauma, and anxiety. In practice, I draw primarily from Narrative (story-building) and Internal Family Systems (parts work) therapies, with sprinkles of Somatic to attend to the mind-body connection. Ecotherapy sessions with me take place primarily outdoors – walk & talk, in our on-site garden, or even remotely in your location of choice! – and include more focused attention on your relationship with the natural world as a source of support and healing.

With me, you can expect dynamic and collaborative sessions in support of your goals. I look forward to meeting you 🙂
