About

Being able to be fully present with someone as they navigate their experiences has always been an aspiration in my life, and it has become one of my highest joys. I enjoy celebrating a person in their entirety, validating their worth, and being a witness to their life. I also deeply connect with the decolonization of therapy and find that my values and identities align in working with people and advocating for them in everything they hope to be.

I work with youth, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life who are navigating a variety of experiences including but not limited to addiction recovery, harm reduction, neurodiversity, LGBTQIA2S+, ambiguous loss, femme-identifying experiences, creative burnout, religious trauma, historical trauma, trauma-informed care. During my time working with people in high stress environments, I’ve seen firsthand how fast chronic burnout can surface in a person’s life. I believe that learning to understand our thought patterns and behaviors can give us the tools to make meaning in our lives and revive ourselves from a burned out place. I strive to hold space for people to be completely and authentically themselves in the therapeutic space.

My approach to therapy is one of collaboration, empathy, and presence. We are in this together and it is a true honor to walk beside another person in their inner world and all of its beauty, challenges, and meaning. I weave a range of different modalities into my approach including psychodynamic practice, acceptance and commitment therapy, contemplative and mindfulness-based practices, trauma-informed care, and decolonization theory. As a clinical social worker in the final year of graduate school, I believe that overarching systems and social structures contribute to psychological distress. In our work together, I shift and shape my approach to meet your needs and to be present with you.
