Therapeutic Style
My focus is on creating a safe space for my clients' processes of self-discovery, providing support for them to lean into the discomfort that can arise with growth, and teaching tools that facilitate long-term healing. I also work from a systems perspective, considering how the larger social context impacts your experience of self and others. You can expect me to bring a non judgmental style, strengths perspective, and patience to our work together so that we can explore freely. It’s a privilege to do this work and I welcome the opportunity to support you!
What Makes Me Unique
I work particularly well with clients navigating complex trauma, sexual health, neurodivergence, racial identity, or LGBTQ+ identity. In my work with individuals, couples, and adult families, I offer a wide range of session availability, including early morning, daytime, evening, and weekend sessions.

As a grief therapist and an active griever myself, I know how difficult the holidays can feel especially when you are coping with disenfranchised grief, or “invisible grief” as I like to call it. After a while, all grief feels invisible in western culture, we barely acknowledge grief, even though it is a natural part of life and something we all go through. However, there is some grief that we are truly given no tools for, and it feels like we do not have any space at all to grieve.
