I’m thrilled to work with anyone feeling called towards expanding what’s already working, identifying and addressing what’s not, and increasing their capacity for compassion with self and others along the way. I'm a particularly good match for clients who bring a willingness to think and act creatively, are process oriented, and have a sense of humor and a desire to play.
At core, I’m client centered and relational—which means I’ll bring an approach to counseling that is specific to you and the season you find yourself in. My goal is to establish authenticity and trust in our therapy sessions, a safe base from which you can get oriented, and then explore.
I’m grateful to have found a career that not only allows but asks me to bring creativity and openheartedness to my work every day. Being in a position to facilitate and witness clients’ evolution and expansion reinforces my deep belief in human resiliency and the power of individual and collective change.

Though I'm well versed as a talk therapist, my training in drama therapy means I'm also always ready with an invitation for embodied exploration and expression. I've trained and worked in a wide range of environments, including hospitals, schools, community-based clinics, and private practice.

I draw from humanistic, psychodynamic, relational therapy traditions, and I view therapy through a systems oriented lens- I believe we are often wounded in relationship, and that we heal in relationship too. I aspire toward feminist, anti-racist, anti-ablest, and anti-ageist practices, and I take seriously my responsibility to monitor and manage power and privilege in this work.
