How I work

I work from a relational, attachment-based psychodynamic lens, rooted in liberatory frameworks. Together, we’ll explore how your early relationships and lived experiences shape your present struggles—and how systemic forces may be entangled with them.

I believe healing happens in relationship and in context. Therapy with me centers your agency and honors the social, cultural, and political realities that impact you. This integration allows for personal and collective transformation.

I support others in connecting with the, whether that shows up in walking, parenting, cooking, organizing, writing, or play. I honor all paths toward aliveness and liberation.

Finding the right therapist matters. Research supports it, and so do I. Let’s talk about what brings you here, what you’re seeking, and whether working together feels like a good fit.

I come from a working-class background shaped by addiction, divorce, and mental illness. As a white-bodied, cisgender woman, I move through the world aware of the ways privilege and oppression intersect with personal and collective trauma.

Healing is a lived practice—I can only offer what I’m committed to doing myself. I’m continually inspired by somatic healing traditions, restorative justice, and the deep vulnerability these practices invite.

Creative expression is a source of life for me—painting, dance, sculpture, sewing, video, trying and failing, writing jokes that don’t work, improv, making sounds—any and all kinds of making are paths toward meaning.

These days, I split my time between supporting others, making things in the studio, and experimenting with guided meditations at thoughts&feelings.

I find ways to laugh as often as I can because laughter is a resilience practice I take very seriously.
