As an trans+queer femme, I am passionate about interdependence and community psych. I believe that the societal structures inherent in our 'independence' focused U.S. culture harms all of us, creating fixed binaries and making asking for and receiving help difficult. We were never meant to do any of this alone, and resourcing folx (in a variety of ways) is at the root of all of my work. 'In the room,' I genuinely care about helping people connect to therapy work in a way that is meaningful to them, noting that this can look a little different person to person and always exists in your own cultural context.

No matter how dark things appear right now or how great the pain, I believe there is hope. Life can throw some crazy curve balls. I know how earth-shattering crisis can be.

“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” ― Thomas A. Edison talking about his attempts to invent the light bulb. At times we feel that we are failing. In our relationships, our jobs, day-to-day struggles or life itself. However, often our so-called "failed attempts" are crucial steps towards increased well-being and healing. In more than 18 years as a marital and family therapist I have been continuously humbled by clients' creativity, resilience and curiosity in bringing about that healing.
