Humans are shaped by context: our relationships, histories, communities, identities, environments, and the systems we move through. During periods of transition, trauma, grief, or disconnection, it can become difficult to stay connected to yourself. Patterns may resurface as anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, loneliness, or feeling stuck. Ways of coping that once helped you survive may begin to feel too heavy, too small, or written by or for someone else.

My approach is relational, collaborative, and attentive to the complexity of identity and lived experience. Together, we may explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, protective strategies, and embodied responses shape your present. We may also incorporate expressive arts or narrative therapy to give shape, language, or creative form to parts of yourself that may feel difficult to access through verbal processing alone. Therapy can become a steady place to build awareness, reconnect with your body and sense of self, while moving toward meaningful change, connection, and reparative experiences.

I hold a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler Graduate School and a bachelor’s degree in psychology and gender studies. I have also completed 500 hours of training in meditation, contemplative movement, and yoga in Encinitas, California. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults as a pre-licensed therapist under the supervision of Deanna Pelley, LPCC. Outside of my clinical practice, I spend time writing songs, dancing, and hiking in the woods in search of a good hammock spot.
