I operate from an integrated approach to therapy. Science has taught us that our genes (epigenetics) are impacted as far back as our grandmother's womb. Our early attachment experiences, genetics, identities, and environment shape our belief systems and how we have learned to navigate our world. This can impact our self-talk, our core beliefs about ourselves, and our worldview and beliefs about the nature of human suffering.

I view therapy as an exploration of who you are and connecting with yourself compassionately to honor your story while recognizing that you are more than your story. You are an ever-evolving being.

I am deeply committed to embodying cultural humility and creating a safe and non-judgmental space for healing.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool in creating a space that allows compassionate inquiry into the self which is where I believe healing can best occur.

I utilize aspects of Buddhist Psychology, attachment-based approaches, IFS, object relations (psychodynamic), DBT, ACT, and somatic therapies to support people in a way that makes sense for them and feels aligned with their experiences. I also have extensive experience supporting the LGBTQIA2S+ community and supporting those seeking gender-affirming care.

I received my MA in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2007 and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Saybrook University.

In my free time I am an avid DIYer and have two sister cats, Calliope and Juno, who are connoisseurs of the cuddle puddle.
