Do you get thrown off center easily? Are you noticing patterns in your life you’d like to change, or experiencing despair, shame, or anxiety about who you are and what your life looks and feels like? We are shaped by the world around us, influenced by our experiences and relationships with not only other people, but with animals, plants, places, and all of the nonhuman world. We all experience pain and weather grief and loss, sometimes in hidden or unacknowledged ways. Therapy can be used to bring conscious awareness to elements in our lives which impact or limit us.

My work is helping you find balance between change-making and radical acceptance in your life. I deeply appreciate complexity and I bring a skillful approach to holding multiple truths simultaneously. By taking your experiences, pain, and inner wisdom seriously, I aim to co-create a space of connection and safety in which we can untangle life’s intricacies.

I will help connect you to your own inner resources and strengths to allow personal discovery, growth, and transformation. I have a special interest in working with anxiety and nervous system dysregulation, attachment and relational issues, ecological grief and distress, life transitions and existential despair, and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).

Psychotherapy should strengthen you over time to better cope with stress, to show yourself (and others) greater compassion and understanding, to build self-esteem, resilience, and vitality. I will draw from my graduate level training in counseling to assess your symptoms and their causes, while developing the shape of therapy and the modalities and tools we can use to make our way forward.

I am passionate about getting the different parts of ourselves in conversation and not discounting the voices of shadow and existential despair. I embrace queer, punk, and feminist ethics to support my community authentically. We will renegotiate the hold that traumatic histories have over you, in order to move more closely toward alignment with your truest self, values, and life.
