My Approach

As a student of political science, I see our lives as socially constructed and historically mediated. Especially in challenging times, we all deeply deserve lives where we feel safe, build community, and thrive in interpersonal growth. Learning about the systems that impact us helps us to more clearly attune to our own intuition; understanding ourselves lets us leave room for choices to align our values and decisions. If you have an interest in learning about yourself from multiple historical and interpersonal relational lenses, we might enjoy working together.

My work is relationally based and supports adults of any age moving through life transitions. In particular, I support those who have melded their professional and personal life paths and may be navigating identity, grief, burnout, and sustainability in helping professions. My clinical background pulls from various eclectic modalities, such as DBT and ACT, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), polyvagal theory, and somatic practices. I have additional training in caring for those who are grieving, dying, and making medical decisions around end of life care. 

As a queer person, I am glad to work for my extended queer community looking for a therapist with some overlapping identities. In my spare time, I am a martial artist studying mixed striking martial arts, qigong, and taichi for over a decade.
