Great to meet you!

During my undergraduate years, I studied political theory at Reed College. In 2021, I completed my master’s degree in Social Work at Bryn Mawr College. Since then, I have offered individual therapy in community mental health, university, and private practice settings.

My approach to therapy

I believe that growth happens when we’re in close connection with trusted others. For that

reason, I will always prioritize building a strong, safe, and collaborative relationship with you.

Together we’ll uncover how your past experiences, contexts, and cultures have shaped you and the things you bring into therapy. I’ll guide you in being with your thoughts, feelings and sensations in a curious and self-compassionate way – an approach that I find allows for more emotional openings and possibilities for change.

My therapeutic style is well suited to those who are experiencing depression, anxiety,

relationship issues, low self-esteem, questions of identity, and trauma. I use tools and

interventions from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, Gestalt, relational therapy, and attachment theory.

What you can expect from me

I'd love to know what you're seeking out of therapy. If you feel we might be a good match, please reach out for a consultation!
