Accepting Clients

I believe that three of the greatest gifts we give ourselves are empathy, self-compassion, and permission to make sense.

About My Clients

I love words and believe that healing is often found when we have space to tell our stories—to make sense of what we have lived, of who we are, and of where we hope to go. I work well with clients who have experienced structural violence, including but not limited to sexual violence, relational violence, religious trauma, homophobia, fatphobia, racism, medical trauma, & complex trauma. I also work well with high achievers, college students, artists, writers, performers, thinkers, & creatives.

My Background and Approach

Before I became a therapist, I completed undergraduate and graduate degrees in creative writing and poetry, trained as a birth doula and an EMT, and taught third grade. I love working with parents, LGBTQIA+ individuals, sex workers, and people struggling with life transitions, addictions, eating disorders, mood disorders, or unwanted behaviors. If there is something you are interested in incorporating into our work together, I'd love to have a conversation & explore what that might look like with you.
