I support my clients in finding authenticity, agency, and connection in the face of the inevitable changes life has to offer. If you find yourself processing pain from past relationships, feeling disconnected, or fighting in the kitchen, I would love to meet you there. My goal is to build a safe relationship with you, in which we can explore the complexity of your life; the mundane, the magic, the painful.

I work within a systemic lens, attuning to the systems of power that impact your life, the relationships that surround you, and how your lived experiences make their way into the present moment. Together, we will cultivate authentic connection to yourself and the world while owning your capacity for choice in the face of limiting circumstances.

Therapy can look like curiosity, laughter, use of metaphor, play and art therapy techniques, naming and feeling emotion, and more. If you think we may work well together, I would love to chat over the phone for a 15 minute free consultation!
