About Us

When we experience hardship without community support, we learn to defend against emotions that would be simply too much to hold alone. I identify as a pansexual genderqueer woman and I honor therapy as a space where all of our identities are important. I work with the nervous system and show up as my real, genuine self. My clients typically come to therapy when their defenses hold them back from loving relationships or a fulfilling life. These very same defenses were often formed to survive oppression in relationships, work environments, and school, and are a symbol of our resiliency as people. , Together, we can place trust in your emotions as powerful guides towards healing while learning new ways of coping that enhance your wellbeing and create agency in spaces of oppression. I draw from attachment and somatic-focused approaches and enjoy working with creativity in narrative, feminist, IFS and relational cultural interventions. , If you are reading this, I imagine you are likely in a space of becoming someone new through all the difficulties you are experiencing. That is challenging to take on alone. I hope you find the collaborative space that you are seeking in therapy and in community. I encourage you to reach out if you feel we might be a good fit or if you have any questions.
