I work with teens and adults seeking a warm, practical approach to therapy. Relationships matter, and so do the conditions in which we live. I consider family history, socioeconomic class, occupation, housing, and access to healthcare. My aim is to help clients feel steadier in their connection with themselves and others, with more space to choose what comes next.

My foundation is trauma-informed care with harm reduction. I integrate relational psychodynamic therapy, family systems, IFS, EFT, narrative, Gestalt, and multicultural therapy, while offering LGBTQ+ affirmative care. When immediate skills are needed, I use CBT and DBT, and I also bring in gentle somatic practices and art to support the nervous system. I’ve worked in eating disorder healing and on RAINN’s hotline for survivors of rape and abuse. Common concerns I support include trauma, PTSD, intimacy, ADHD, grief, career stress, and life changes. Clients describe me as calm and real; I value consent and collaboration, with the aim of connection, choice, and change.

Before this path, I spent over a decade in product design and user research, which taught me to listen deeply, test ideas in real life, and prioritize access for all. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, working out, and creating.
