Women, queer, and gender expansive individuals experiencing:

• attachment wounds

• grief + loss

• people-pleasing + perfectionism

• life transitions

• C-PTSD

• religious + spiritual trauma

• non-traditional relationship structures

I am deeply passionate about the fact that therapy is an experience that begins with a relational connection.

The internet is bursting with therapist influencers; while this is an incredible resource for folks who don’t have access to mental health care, I believe we all need & deserve to be witnessed, held, and known by an actual human being. 

In relational therapy, our time together will naturally be collaborative with an emphasis on the process that unfolds between you and I – the patterns that play out and can be explored in the shared space between us.

Together we will slow down and notice what emerges.

• What needs to be witnessed?

• What needs to be grieved?

• What needs to be said aloud to another human being? 

Through this process, my hope is that you begin to understand the parts of your story that have shaped how you see yourself and the unique way you move through the world.

It is from this awareness that you can begin moving toward not only symptom relief, but creating new patterns of relating that allow you to more flexibly and resiliently embrace the joys and pains of your life.

My framework for healing is trauma-informed and guided by a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic, mindfulness and Zen Buddhism, attachment theory, inner child and parts work, and somatic/embodiment approaches aimed to help you reconnect to your inherent goodness and wholenes.

I work from a liberation and feminist perspective with an awareness that our inner conflicts are located in the context of the oppressive systems we must navigate. My approach has a strong emphasis on de-pathologizing the person.

I believe in an anti-carceral approach to mental health care and that therapy is political.
