Welcome. As a licensed mental health therapist I aim to create an inviting and supportive space where you can talk openly about your unique life experiences. My goal is to help you to find kindness for the parts of you that are struggling, create understanding around your experience, and practice strategies to work with your emotions so you stay in control of them instead of feeling like they control you.
Using a non-judgemental, collaborative approach, along with mindfulness and somatic practices, we'll explore strategies to build emotional strength & stability, manage anxiety, increase self-esteem, shift faulty coping strategies, & grow healthier relationships.
Together, we'll build on the skills that are already working for you, and recognize and adjust those that are holding you back.

Background
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a non-practicing Licensed School Counselor.
I have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-regulation, trauma and social/emotional skills.
Pre and post licensure coursework includes human growth and development, death and dying, loss and bereavement, non-suicidal self harm, as well as the usefulness of anxiety and how to shift your relationship to it.
I am committed to offering trauma-informed, inclusive and equitable care. This means, I am conscious of my continuous need for education, learning how to decenter whiteness, systems of oppression and hierarchies that impact peoples’ ability to feel whole and accepted.
In my free time I am often exploring creative outlets, including ceramics/wheel throwing, knitting, and gardening. I have a regular meditation practice, a love of learning, nature and all things chocolate.
