Mental Health Therapist & Clinical Supervisor

(she/they)

Let's imagine that therapy is like tending to a garden. Together we'll discover what’s getting in the way of your flourishing: maybe you’ve inherited some weeds, or you’ve had some rough weather, or perhaps you’ve understood yourself as a crappy violet and we’ll discover you’re actually a stunning orchid? Either way, I’ll support you with wisdom and care as you discern what to let go of or grow.

My primary focus is to facilitate an inviting space to allow this work to take root. As a therapist I am deeply kind, warm, and playful. I am good at putting people at ease even as we tend to hard places. We'll laugh, dive deep when you're ready, and where appropriate I’ll offer insights and practical tools. I am particularly knowledgeable in the areas of late-identified ADHD / autism, narcissistic abuse, queer identity, and gardening metaphors.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic, meaning I'll pay attention to the patterns that arise between us. Intersectional feminism guides my work to address oppression you may be facing and to help you thrive. I draw from trauma-informed mindfulness practices and internal family systems (IFS) to gently incorporate the body, grow self-care practices, and develop a sense of home and steadiness within yourself. 

I do my best work with women and queer folks ages 18 and up. I'm particularly passionate about supporting people who are going through changes in identity (parenthood, divorce, faith, gender, sexuality, etc.) as well as those who are recovering from emotional abuse from disordered parents or partners. I am particularly knowledgeable in the areas of late-identified ADHD / autism, narcissistic abuse, queer identity.
