Feel Less Alone With What You Carry:

I walk alongside complicated, creative, and misunderstood humans.

I help people understand themselves clearly enough to make different choices in relationships, identity, work, and response to stress. Bring your whole complicated self into our sessions; You won't be reduced to a diagnosis, a worksheet, or a coping skill.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and depth-oriented. I believe we are shaped not only by our families, communities, cultures, and social systems, but also by our emotional lives. We work over time to understand what has shaped you, what keeps repeating, and what’s getting in the way of the life and relationships that best suit you.

I provide an affirming, anti-oppressive therapeutic space where clients are treated with dignity, respect, and curiosity. As a queer therapist in an interracial marriage, I bring lived experience and professional training into conversations about identity, difference, privilege, discrimination, and belonging. LGBTQIA+ clients, individuals recovering from religious trauma or navigating faith transitions, and others who have felt unseen, marginalized, or misunderstood are especially welcome in my practice. As a secular therapist, I work with people from a wide range of religious, spiritual, and nonreligious backgrounds.

I also enjoy working with highly sensitive, intellectually curious, gifted, and neurodivergent adults. We work toward greater understanding, self-trust, and self-compassion. And away from pathologizing human differences.

Above all, I believe healing happens within the context of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you feel less alone with the things you carry.

I want to create space for you to bring in your whole self—the parts that are grieving, confused, sexy, ashamed, angry, hopeful, and uncertain—and discover that you do not have to navigate them alone.

I am relaxed, interactive, encouraging, and good-humored. I won't rush you, and I won't let you get too stuck. My clients often work with me consistently for a season of life and then return as new challenges, losses, relationships, and opportunities emerge. But everyone is different.

How I Think About Therapy

I approach therapy as a process of understanding rather than fixing.

Together, we pay attention to what keeps repeating, how you respond in certain situations, and what feels difficult to change. We become curious about the strategies, beliefs, and patterns that helped you survive earlier chapters of your life but may now be limiting your ability to live fully.

Therapy is about developing a deeper relationship with yourself so you can respond to life with more flexibility, self-awareness, and self-compassion.

Lasting change often happens when are able to approach the parts of ourselves we have learned to criticize, hide, avoid, or carry separately. Many people believe anxiety, shame, grief, anger, or uncertainty means something is wrong. Often, our work helps those experiences make sense in the context of your story.

Above all, I believe healing happens within a genuine therapeutic relationship. The work is something we do together. Over time, therapy becomes a place where you understand yourself more clearly, relate to yourself more compassionately, and make more intentional choices.
