Professional Life

Instead of prescribing to you from a textbook, my practice honors you as the expert of your life. I am here to learn where you want to go, and to be an informed guide at your disposal as we discover how we can get you there. Together, we can co-create a “brave space”  wherein I am responsible for earning your trust and you are responsible for showing up in a way that honors both your goals and your capacity for transformation. 

As a queer, white woman living with complex trauma and neurodivergence, I have been a student of the behavioral/healing arts for my whole life. I’ve chosen to practice psychotherapy not because I think I’ve discovered all the answers, rather, because I know what it's like to feel miserable, broken, and hopeless–and then, to find hope, connection, and belonging, within myself, mentors, community, and my own therapist(s)/mental health helpers. 

I am passionate about interrogating systems of oppression as they exist within us and throughout us, and challenging them with human strengths. This can look like; 

• Unlearning shame that was never yours to begin with→learning how to love yourself

• Unlearning neuroconforming behaviors→learning to love your neurodiversity

• Unlearning white supremacy culture→learning to love within/against white supremacy culture

• Reclaiming agency, confidence, and worthiness
