My focus in therapy is to build a trusting relationship which inspires self-discovery and a greater capacity for change. I tend to use a relational style with curiosity, humor, and compassion to support people in understanding and coping with mental health symptoms, learning better communication skills in relationships, and exploring identity development and life transitions. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples, and particularly enjoy working with those seeking support for anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, and identity development, including LGBTQ+ identities, as a queer person myself.

I enjoy helping college students, athletes and young adults tackle the never-ending challenges that arise from the pressure to be perfect. I strive to provide an environment where individuals can come and know they do not have to pretend to be this way or that way, but can just be. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Solutions-Focused Therapy in my work. I also have significant experience working with eating disorders, disordered eating, and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS) as a dietitian.

I work with clients who want to heal from PTSD using creativity to explore and tell their story in an empowered way using neuro-based art therapy online or in a cozy art studio. My clients usually have done some talk therapy or self discovery work in the part and are ready to dig deeper to heal and build wholeness and meaning. In art therapy sessions I give my clients opportunities to explore and find what art and crafting materials they like to work with. I will follow your lead on subject matter, as we tell your story in a new way, exploring what feels important to you at this time and discovering what needs re-working.

We all have times when we run out of ideas about how to deal with problems in our lives. It can help to involve a new set of eyes and ears to see things from a different angle. We work to gain new skills and insights, and tap into our forgotten strengths, to create independence and lasting positive change. We look at the rigid and unhelpful patterns we have, and work together to form new ways of thinking and doing. While this process unfolds you are free to be your authentic self, without feeling judgment, powerlessness, or shame, in a safe and trusting atmosphere.

You’re tired of feeling like thoughts about food and your body dictate how you spend your day. It feels like you cannot escape the voice in your head that tells you that you are not thin enough, you ate too much, and the most important thing about you is the way you look. The truth is, your body is not the problem - It never was. Our culture is structured to make us fit inside narrow constructs that oppress who we are. We will work toward body liberation. Body liberation is the freedom from social and political systems of oppression that designate certain bodies as more worthy, healthy, and desirable than others.

Please note: I currently have a 6-8 month wait for new clients. The world may be telling you that you are not enough, that you need to change in order to fit in. Sometimes that pressure to fit neatly into a particular box is more than you feel you can overcome on your own. That is where therapy can help. My practice is greatly informed by Anna Quindlen's quote: "The thing that is really hard and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself". You do not need to change to meet the world's expectations, you are already perfect as you are and I want to help you believe that.

If you seek creative solutions using somatic-based therapy and expressive arts, I would be delighted to support you in working through any challenges. I offer more conventional modalities as well, but that's not for everybody. Creative expression is everyone's natural right, and it can help restore health and vitality. It can be accessed in many different ways, like movement, making music or listening to it, arts and crafts, reading or writing, and so many other possibilities.

Writing about therapy is hard, particularly if you are not inclined to use tree or water metaphors. Instead, I invite you to reach out if you are an anxious, perfectionistic (don't stop reading because you think you aren't perfect enough to be a perfectionist) individual who is struggling anywhere on the disordered eating to eating disorder spectrum. Throw in a liberal arts education, and we might be a great fit. I primarily work with older adolescents (17+), young adults, and early career helping professionals (therapists, social workers, nurses, med students, etc).

Hello! What is bringing you to therapy? For many, it's feeling lost, confused, hurt and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. We can come to feel lost and disconnected because of trauma or stress (either in this lifetime or in your lineage) that hasn’t been digested in our body/mind. It can happen from living in an increasingly lonely and disconnected world. I would like to support you in finding connection and meaning in life so you can experience satisfying relationships with yourself, friends, family and the natural world around you. This is what being alive is about!

I am licensed in CA, AZ and MN and can provide telehealth for each of those states. Who doesn't want freedom in all aspects of life? I believe that true freedom comes from transformation of self from the inside out. We are not on this planet to struggle, rather to find the courage to let our light shine. If you are feeling stuck in your relationships, career, family, or any other aspect of life perhaps it is time for a change. Life is short.

You just can't take it anymore. You are juggling so much, taking care of everything for everyone, and you feel like you're ready to snap! The anxiety and pressure are becoming too much. Your mind won't stop racing, you're having trouble sleeping, and you end up crying in your car from the overwhelm. You wonder what's wrong with you and how others make it look so easy. You have a hard time trusting yourself and prioritizing what you want and need - hell, you don't even know how to do that! You feel too guilty to put yourself first, but you know you need some balance in your life. You want to relax but wonder - am I asking too much?

I believe that building an authentic relationship with each client is one of the first steps in moving towards peace, hope, and healing. As we seek to understand ourselves and the patterns of distress, conflict, or confusion we fall into, taking space to explore our strengths and connections is an important step in building a foundation for how we want to move through our world. I value creating a non-judgmental space for each individual, couple, or family to identify their goals and work together to reflect and acquire the necessary tools to begin to feel whole.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
