Welcome. I imagine you have landed here because you are seeking something. Some folks reach out to me because of an event that has recently happened in their life, such as a breakup, a big transition, or a loss. For others, it’s because of something ongoing that causes some amount of distress, like feelings of anxiety or depression, chronic pain, or confusion about their identity or sexuality. There are also folks who seek therapy with me to work on their relationship with themself or another, such as navigating disordered eating or seeking clarity about a partnership or dynamics in their family. Whether you see yourself in the reasons listed above or there is something else motivating you to seek therapy, I’m glad you’re here.

I saw my first therapist in my early twenties following a breakup. Since then, I have worked with a handful of therapists at different points in my life to help me focus in on aspects of myself, heal the wounds I discovered, explore my identity, and improve my relationship to self and others. At times, I have felt that I needed to be in therapy for the support it offered. But sometimes, I pursued therapy because it felt like concentrated time for me to explore myself with the encouragement and focus of a trusted individual, collaborating with me. 

I strive to offer a welcoming, flexible environment to all of my clients. In times of crisis, I am there to cultivate a space where we can work together to connect you with the supports you need. This can look like physical practices that we explore together to calm the nervous system, creating self-care routines, helping to identify what activates you and making a plan for how best to navigate those moments. It may also look like finding resources outside my office that help with your specific need, such as a support group, financial assistance, books or podcasts, etc.

I am also here for you when things in your life feel more stable, and you have the space to explore questions about yourself or patterns you experience. This could look like leaning into curiosity, exploring the emotions that arise, and collaborating on exercises to help you find yourself more deeply. 

As a therapist, I am warm, open to you and all of your emotions, ready to laugh with you and sit with your tears, self-reflective, and gently curious. My hope is that you will feel deeply listened to and respected in our work, and that you carry a sense of connection out of the session and into your life.

Looking for a therapist can feel daunting and vulnerable. I am here to answer any questions and talk before scheduling an appointment to make sure we are a good fit! I work with adult individuals and couples, and run occasional groups.

A little about me outside of being a counselor: I love the creative process! I do a great deal of weaving, knitting, sewing, and drawing in my spare time. I also love movement practices, including running, cycling, weightlifting, and stretching.
