I am a feminist integrative therapist who is passionate about supporting all genders and groups of people navigating oppression in any way. I am an ally because I believe we are more alike than different and we can all use a gentle reminder to swing the pendulum in the other direction. Change can be hard whether it’s necessary or initiated. There isn’t one way to approach an issue because sometimes what we think we want shifts, expands, or completely changes form. There are many societal, familial, and cultural expectations that dictate if and how we show up with ourselves, peers, and loved ones. I want to help you find balance and comfort amidst the tides. My work as a Firefighter, an EMT in the Emergency Room, and a Mental Health Worker in a psychiatric hospital has refined my desire to support individuals with both urgent or continued challenges. We are all existing in multiple realms while trying to fit the puzzle pieces together.
Inside the therapy room is an intimate space we can share, explore, and discover more of what aligns with you, while also challenging you to be open to new ways of being. I will follow your lead in setting a pace that feels comfortable. Let’s work together to create more moments where your deepest self feels both seen and valued, while also honoring the needs of your most personal relationships. Through collaboration we will find the best ways to express what matters most, this way your time, passion, and energy is received how it is intended.

Growing up in a unpredictable home left me both confused and curious about human behavior. Over time that curiosity grew into a yearning to learn and understand everything about personalities. It was fascinating! It also help me to make sense of my early trauma wounds and attachment issues with loved ones. So much of your outlook, hopes, and output are shaped by what did or did not happen during childhood. I do this work because I want to support individuals navigating times of uncertainty and transition. I want to help guide them on how to understand the love they are receiving as well as express their love in the most meaningful way.
The best part of my job is seeing a client rediscover their autonomy, agency, freedom, and choice. Oftentimes when things are challenging we succumb to feeling powerless, in feeling unable to facilitate any relief in the matter. Seeing the internal smile and big exhale someone experiences when they step out from
“underneath the problem” and into the internal shareholder role is deeply rewarding.
I often spend my free time traveling, swimming, trying new recipes, or getting lost in a book.
