I am a queer relational psychodynamic psychotherapist. I work with teens 15years old +, young adults, and adults. My approach is trauma-informed and emotionally focused. I utilize a humanistic, attachment theory, internal family systems (IFS), and anti-oppressive lens. I have a warm and earnest approach. I strive to understand my clients holistically and create a relationship built on safety, trust, collaboration, and hope. I believe that we are all worthy of love, respect, repair, and living a life that is abundant because of who we are.

Together, we will pay close attention to your inner terrain and get to know your edges. We will be mindful of your thinking patterns and the stories we’ve learned to tell ourselves. Explore the meanings given to stories and new ways of being and relating. We’ll name the oppressive systems (racism, white supremacy, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, compulsive heteronormativity, fundamentalism, etc) that chronically impact how we live and make it difficult to safely access parts of who we are.

I am a Shelterwood Collective and Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study member. I consistently consult with supervisors and clinical groups and pursue trauma-informed education and learning.
