Who I am as a Therapist

I believe that the work of therapy is to come home to ourselves. Who we are is a blend of the ways we were raised, supported, marginalized and tended to. Our selfhood is our own and co-created by the people around us, and therapy is a gentle process of forming nourishing ties to others and learning to trust our own inner knowing. I work from a somatic and intergenerational framework, assisting clients in weaving together our bodies, minds, relationships and ways of knowing. In therapy, I will ask you challenging questions, validate your sorrow and rage and shine a light on your innate strengths. I will walk with you while we explore your histories, identities and dreams.

I work in-person, virtually and ecotherapeutically (outdoors).

Who I am when I'm not a Therapist

I am a forager, permaculturist, herbalist, tea nerd and community builder. I live for potlucks with my pals and long days bird watching at the river. When I'm not outside slowing down whomever I'm hiking with by identifying plants, I am serving tea at events and meeting new people. I also have been known to dance and talk late into the night with my people.
