My clinical orientation uses a solutions-focused, relational approach. I’ve been told I have a warm, empathetic style and a calming presence. Our therapy space is judgment-free and you’ll find that I throw in some humor when it makes sense. Therapy doesn't always have to be heavy–we can laugh, too.

Above all, I want you to feel comfortable in our work together. Television and movies can make therapy look stuffy and impersonal, but that’s not how I do things. You’ll get me as I really am and in turn, I hope you find you can be your full self with me, too.

My work is rooted in social justice, and I work with and welcome people of all identities, backgrounds, and lifestyles. Part of my therapeutic approach includes exploring how oppressive systems (racism, homophobia, ageism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, sizeism, etc.) impact you, your story, and your overall health and well-being.

My commitment is that therapy will be a collaborative space to share your story. I promise it will always be received with full acceptance, but I’m not going to just sit there and nod. We’ll work together to get what you want out of therapy, centering your identities, experiences, and goals. In doing so you will be able to develop deeper self-compassion and confidence, navigate life’s challenges, and build the story and life you want for yourself and your future.
