Outside of Work
I’m drawn to the grounding presence of nature and enjoy exploring new outdoor spaces. I have a soft spot for old architecture and vintage things for the history and character they carry. One of my happy places is tending to my garden and betta tanks, which helps me slow down and nurture a cozy home oasis. I’ve recently begun dabbling in stained glass and am enjoying creating colorful, light-filled pieces.
I strive to create a space where you can exhale – a space where you can show up as you are and feel deeply seen and genuinely supported. Together, we’ll navigate the messy, overwhelming, and deeply human parts of life with compassion, curiosity, and care. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, shaped by your needs, your pace, and your voice.
We will explore how your past experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and move through the world. Rather than judging those patterns, we’ll approach them with curiosity and compassion, honoring how they’ve served you while creating room for growth and change. We’ll work to untangle the pressures, expectations, and survival strategies that may have pulled you away from yourself, to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned.
This work can feel like coming home to yourself - helping you feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life, with greater steadiness and a deeper sense of what’s true for you.
Couples & Polycules
I work with couples in monogamous and nonmonogamous relationships, and I’m especially attuned to the unique dynamics within LGBTQ+ relationships. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, caught in recurring conflict, or wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy offers a space to slow down, turn toward each other, and reconnect with greater emotional security. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with integration of the Gottman Method as well as Prepare/Enrich for premarital counseling. I help couples understand the underlying emotional cycles that keep them stuck and support them in creating greater emotional safety, responsiveness, and connection.
My Approach
I draw from psychodynamic, relational, and somatic frameworks, weaving them together in a way that fits you. I’m interested in the deeper layers of your experience, like how your past, your relationships, and even patterns outside of your awareness may be shaping your present, and how bringing those into the light can create more choice and flexibility in your life.
I also bring a strong focus on the body into our work. Sometimes we can understand something logically but still feel stuck. That’s where somatic work can be especially helpful, as it offers ways to support your nervous system and reconnect with your body as a source of information and healing. I am currently enrolled in the Somatic Experiencing Institute’s 3-year program to deepen how I support trauma healing and embodiment.
All the while, I hold a deep awareness of the broader systems that impact our lives. My work is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression values, with attention to how identity, culture, and power shape your experiences. I strive to offer care that is thoughtful, culturally responsive, and rooted in ongoing reflection and growth, both personally and professionally.
