Since moving to the Bay in 2012, I’ve been providing support to people from various backgrounds, lived experiences, and multiple layers of trauma. I’m open to working with a wide range of challenges identified by clients. I create a welcoming space for clients from all backgrounds including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, poly/ENM, plural, neurodivergent, and kinky folks. I’ve also found a passion in psychedelic-assisted therapy, as well as helping people explore the relationships they have with their drug use through a harm reduction lens.

My work with couples and individuals comes from a client-centered orientation, focusing on the strength of relationships and looking at healing through an attachment theory framework with an eye towards social justice. I believe healthy relationships can help us heal some of our deepest wounds. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco.

In therapy sessions with me, you can expect that I'll work with you at your own pace and follow your guidance while providing a comfortable space to process whatever feels most important in the moment. I have completed trainings in EMDR, emotionally-focused couples therapy, and MDMA assisted psychotherapy.
