My Bio

Hello and welcome. Starting therapy and finding the right fit can be challenging. I hope this brief introduction gives you a sense of who I am and how I work.

My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative. I tailor sessions to your goals and strive to bring empathy, presence, and curiosity as we explore the patterns, experiences, and longings that shape your life.

I specialize in working with trauma, complex trauma, attachment wounds, shame, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. I also support clients navigating life transitions, aging, and illness. My practice is especially affirming for neurodivergent, queer, kinky, and non-monogamous individuals, and those in non-traditional relationships. I believe therapy is most powerful when it honors your unique identity and makes space for parts of you that may have been silenced.

I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I studied depth psychology. My work integrates story, dreams, somatic presence, and ecopsychology—the healing connection between humans and the natural world. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in the business world before answering a deeper calling.

As a neurodivergent and queer therapist, I am committed to challenging systemic and internalized oppression. I live with my partner, our two teens, and our spirited Chihuahua. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy nature, music, and cooking and sharing nourishing meals with my friends and family.
