Great to meet you!

I offer my services to individuals, couples, and non-monogamous folks. Together we will utilize the transformative power of relationship as a sacred tool, capable of moving us all further away from colonized markers of wellness, and closer to a version of healing rich with compassion, self-confrontation, and reverence for your personal story. Our work together will be rooted in the principles of liberation psychology and harm reduction. My aim is to amplify the innate wisdom existing in you, while guiding you towards a version of wellness that prioritizes curiosity and self-celebration!

My approach to therapy

My integrative relational approach is informed by years of psychodynamic training, with emphasis on Somatic and Emotionally Focused treatment modalities. You are a complex human being deserving of care that honors and celebrates the full intersection of your identities.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be an opportunity to cultivate safety by moving at a pace that honors the context of your life. Together we will explore areas of focus, gain insight on relationships present in your life, and begin to build a treatment plan aligned with your needs.
