Specialties: individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy; children ages 6+, adolescents, young adults, and adults; anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment, relationships, grief/loss, self-esteem or self-worth issues; and Attachment Theory, Person-Centered Therapy, IFS, CBT, EFT, somatic work, and trauma-informed care. I truly believe in every individual’s ability to grow and change. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone can feel seen and heard. As humans, we long for connection. It is primal and in our DNA. However, in order to feel a connection, we need to feel a sense of safety first. Like Maya Angelou’s quote, I want you to have a life that’s thriving, not merely just surviving. A recent interest and passion of mine have been the topics of grief/loss and perinatal and reproductive mental health. I want to help individuals and couples who have or are experiencing grief related to infertility or miscarriage/loss of pregnancy. I want them to know that they are not alone in this experience and that the grieving process can be done together. I enjoy working with couples who are experiencing a lack of connection and are seeking help with hopes of increasing the effectiveness of their communication and boundaries. Another passion of mine is helping couples navigate family conflicts. Family conflicts are not easy, and they tend to disrupt the whole family system. Family conflicts can cause resentment among members and there may be some forgiveness and letting go that needs to happen. Sometimes couples feel stuck or in a rut and I'm here to invite them to explore one another differently and embrace each other’s strengths. The couple will learn how to navigate daily stressors and develop a care plan that will encourage safety and connection for the couple. I am also passionate about group therapy and how the group setting can promote change. I believe groups provide a unique and powerful setting where members can learn from one another, encourage connection, provide support, and develop greater empathy and compassion. Groups provide a safe environment where you can recognize that you are not alone in your suffering. I am currently working on creating women’s and couples support groups to be offered in the future. In my work, I am attachment-focused and utilize an integrated approach including person-centered therapy, somatic work, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), Adlerian psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I also identify as a neurodivergent provider. My approach is strengths based and varies to suit the client’s individual needs. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling. I value that everyone has a unique experience, and it is important to me to learn how each of your cultural backgrounds impacts your life and view of the world. My hobbies in my spare time include anything outdoors especially kayaking, going on walks, or to the dog park with my partner and our fur baby, Niles. I enjoy dancing, photography, traveling, cooking, and mindfulness activities such as yoga, meditation, and journaling. If this feels like a good fit, feel free to reach out to me by email and we can find a time to connect. I look forward to meeting you!

Specialties: Relationship issues, gender and sexuality, anxiety, depression, grief and loss If there’s one reason I am a therapist, it is because I am deeply curious about people and love to connect. I want to fully know and understand your experiences, and create a space where you feel held. Some lenses I frequently bring to sessions include: how our relationships shape us throughout our lives, how our bodies and nervous systems hold our past and influence our present experience, and how systems of power impact everything. I’m especially excited to support clients around relationship issues (whether romantic, family, or friend), life transitions, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and exploring gender, sexuality, and queerness. Some therapy modalities and frameworks that shape my approach include: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, somatics, mindfulness, gender-affirming therapies, and trauma-informed practices. But above all, I’m invested in finding the approach that will work best for you, and we can draw from some, all, or none of these to figure that out! Before becoming a therapist, I was a full-time climate justice organizer for several years, and I still stay connected to organizing and movement work in my personal life. I am queer, cisgender, and polyamorous and love being in queer community. At home, I love swimming, cooking for my neighbors, reading fantasy novels in Spanish, and being the fun auntie to my sister’s daughter.

Specialties: Young adults, couples, DBT skills development, anxiety, complex family dynamics, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions and stressors I have a niche for working with young adults (18-30 y/o), especially those dealing with anxiety, depression, and navigating complex family systems. Our late teens and 20s are full of life transitions, uncertainty, new experiences, big decisions, and figuring out who we are.
