My Approach

I work with individuals and couples.

Many of my clients are freelancers and creatives and/or have non-linear career paths. I work with many folks who are experiencing major life transitions, whether intended or not. Much of the time, this work involves finding agency and acceptance in the midst of uncertainty. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative, and I also bring humor and a willingness to challenge and sit in discomfort. I honor your strength and your vulnerability at the same time, and seek to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are already resilient and resourceful.

My approach is grounded in a psychodynamic perspective, paying attention to how past experiences continue to shape the present in relationships, work, and self-talk. I am deeply rooted in social justice, and draw from trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, relational, feminist, and anti-racist frameworks. I support clients navigating identity questions, relationship challenges, life transitions, and healing from trauma or abuse. I use a harm reduction approach to substance use, which means abstinence isn’t the only path.

I see therapy as a collaborative process. I invite curiosity, feedback, and openness as we discover what feels most supportive for you. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, so I draw on multiple ways of working, engaging mind and body while considering the broader social and cultural forces that shape us. Together, we create a space that feels safe, meaningful, and uniquely suited to your needs.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Therapy works best when it feels like a true collaboration. I welcome your feedback about what’s helpful, what feels uncomfortable, and where you’d like to go next. Sessions can involve slowing down to sit with emotions, exploring patterns in relationships, or brainstorming practical steps to create change.

Above all, my goal is for you to leave therapy with a stronger connection to yourself, a greater sense of possibility, and confidence in the tools, resources, and inner strength you already have.
