About My Clients

I am experienced working with clients at all stages of life and transition. Questions of identity/culture, emotional processing, stress/anxiety, communication/relationship concerns, body-based issues, grief/loss, and neurodivergence/difference are my areas of specialty.

My Background and Approach

Whether my client is 5 or 65 years old, curiosity, play, and laughter are big parts of my therapy toolbox. I take a whole person approach, attending to your feelings, bodily sensations, personal values, cultural experiences, and life story. By tapping into your inner wisdom we will try to expand your sense of choice, set goals that work for you, and celebrate small victories in seeking the life you desire.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Whether you're struggling with a current crises or a lifelong challenge, I let questions lead in therapy. When do you feel most yourself? Most connected, most alive? What gets in the way? What would good look like for you?
