My Background

I have an extensive background working with young people outside in recreational, educational, and therapeutic spaces. This helps make my work collaborative, laid-back, and warm, no matter who I am working with. I have experience leading several therapeutic groups and am passionate about the power of group work during the healing process. I have spent time teaching socio-emotional education and Nonviolent Communication to young people and love integrating these tools into my current work. I also love to bring my personal and professional experiences with poetry and creative writing into the counseling room as a tool for self-exploration!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I deeply believe that we all thrive best when we are taking care of one another. However, most of us these days live in cultures that de-prioritize that community care and expect us to suck it up and take care of ourselves, by ourselves, even in the murkiest times. I don't know about you, but I don't feel very successful when I try to move through life without support. I became a therapist because I love being a part of people's support networks, and I think that therapy is a unique and beautiful way to do that. I love helping folks navigate shifting identities, uncover and care for old wounds, and move into the person they know they really are. I am passionate about exploring the role of systemic oppression and collective trauma in my clients’ stories. As a member of the LGBTQ community I am especially drawn to helping fellow queer folks. I also love helping support parents!
