About My Clients

There are moments when you know that something needs to change, but the path forward is unclear. This can be overwhelming, confusing, even frightening. Change and growth are natural parts of life, but that does not make them any less daunting. We can work together to explore what comes next. You can feel safe sharing your struggles and fears, knowing that you will not have to face them alone. We’ll create space for clarity, healing, and intentional action so you can build the future you want.

My Background and Approach

You do not need to start therapy knowing exactly what changes you want to see. Part of our work can be figuring out your goals. I want therapy to be a place where you can feel seen and bring forward parts of yourself that may be harder to show elsewhere. My style is compassionate, warm, and curious. During sessions, I am actively engaged and frequently share observations and questions. I also often return to threads from earlier in our work together to build a fuller picture of your experience. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and difficult family-of-origin experiences. I also work with couples who struggle to communicate effectively, including couples navigating non-monogamy. I also have extensive training in psychedelic therapy and offer psychedelic preparation and integration support. I love helping clients explore psychedelic experiences and catalyze moments of insight into lasting shifts.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I also intentionally incorporate conversation about culture, community, and systems of power. Challenges do not form in a vacuum, so naming and exploring context is a vital part of my approach to therapy.
