As a private practice clinician since 2012, I take an affective, strengths-based approach to therapy. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, trauma-informed care, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I work with individuals, families, and couples and have previously led LGBTQ+ inclusive process groups.

My style of therapy is centered, relaxed, and collaborative. I believe you have to be comfortable to do your best work. You can frequently find me practicing in a sweatshirt. It is vital to my practice that clients know they are talking to a real human being, and my client-therapist relationships are built on mutual trust and safety.

I believe that mental healthcare should be holistic. To get at the whole person, I like to explore the relationship between movement, nutrition, sleep, and time spent in nature. Coordination of care is essential, and I frequently collaborate with dieticians, other healthcare providers, and academic support staff. I have extensive experience working with universities to advocate for and eta accommodations for my clients.

I welcome clients from all communities, backgrounds, and walks of life, and make a conscious effort to ensure my clients feel safe and supported at all times.

Outside of my home office, I am an avid hiker and eater of takeout. I’m learning to surf, love banana slugs, collect way too many house plants, and my favorite part of every day is spending time with my sixteen-year-old wiener dog, Myles.

Perhaps above all else, I promise to never ask you, “and how does that make you feel?”
