Recommendations
I can make recommendations for working together - we come up with a scheduling plan that works for you. Should our intuitions take us in different directions, I can help connect you to the right therapist.

Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach is individualized and involves a variety of modalities including psychodynamic & humanistic theories, exploration of early development, attachment, trauma & its residual symptoms, & the practice of mindfulness.
I most often work with individual adults ready to dig deep & explore within, teens (who want to be here), and couples seeking to improve connection. I have a deep respect for this work & the beauty of our discomfort as it leads to growth. I’m direct, honest, intentional about your experience & as active in session as you’d be.
I will be honest that therapy isn’t meant to be a comfortable experience, though it can be comforting.
(Being human is hard; sometimes really hard)
I'm here to accompany as a reminder that you don't need to feel uncomfortable, alone. I do the work I invite & challenge you to do, as a therapist who goes to therapy, I support support!
My specialties include
anxiety
trauma
relationship issues
life transitions
living intentionally
self-understanding
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are” - Carl Jung
Humor me for a moment. The bright & crisp mountain mornings after a storm are my favorite. You can see steam pouring out from within the trees, dancing through fresh sun beams, breathing new life into the air. The sound & smell of possibility are intoxicating.
A rooted soul, not unlike the breathing redwood tree after a storm, stands tall in reflection of what they have endured. It grows stronger with each added ring of self-knowing, and its connection to those around it. Even when it’s burned, it’s through this loss that promotes continued growth. It not only survives the elements, but thrives through its instinctive adaptability, reaching daily toward the sun. You’re invited here, to channel your current or longterm discomfort into growth, becoming the rooted soul we already know is within you.
"All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us."
