I believe that the North Star of your wellness is within you. I also believe that healing often happens in the context of relationship with others. So, as a therapist, one of the things I most prioritize is the strength and security of our therapeutic relationship. I’m excited to work together with you as you move in the direction of your goals for a flourishing, authentic life. Along the way, you’ll find that my style is empathetic, warm, curious — and sometimes even humorous! I am social justice-oriented, and I have been frequently acknowledged for my ability to form a holistic understanding of systemic issues that individuals are facing, balanced with their most immediate concerns.

My approach to counseling is most deeply informed by the NeuroAffective Relational Model, which was developed with an eye towards treating complex trauma, and is applicable across many mental wellness concerns. My approach also is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Relational-Cultural Theory.
