Individual Therapy
In my approach, I draw from psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and liberatory frameworks. Our work together can often look like exploring the narratives you learned as a child about who you were supposed to be. Expectations to not take up too much space, to never show vulnerability, to take care of everyone else’s needs and emotions above your own. These narratives might have come from caregivers, school environments, spiritual communities, cultural norms, and so on. Check out this model for a visual.
As we begin to unravel the stories you’ve learned, we may discover parts of you full of longing. Longing to reconnect with your own body, your needs, your desires. A craving to change how you show up in community, to build connections where you’re seen as a whole, complex being. This work is imaginative, playful, uncomfortable, and transformative.
I love connecting with humans in all walks of life, including…

ENM & polyamorous
I’m an artist, an animal lover, an overthinker, a perfectionist-in-recovery. I am queer, genderfluid, and polyamorous. My identities and lived experience directly inform how I practice and why I am so deeply committed to doing therapy differently.
My education and training has taught me that therapy is not about a modality, about homework, about fixing. Therapy is about relationship. As a therapist, I bring my authentic self into the room. When you ask about who I am, I’ll really tell you. If it feels right between us, I’ll bring in lessons I’ve learned and am learning into our space. I’ll never claim to be the expert. Instead, I’ll learn alongside you, offer my insight and curiosity, and bear gentle witness to all the messiness that comes along with being human.
