I believe that the journey of self exploration is one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of being alive. However, this journey can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times frightening. As a counselor, I aim to be your ally in deepening your understanding and connection with yourself, healing from past hurts, and improving connection with others and the greater world. Together, we will determine what is and isn’t working for you and seek to create a balanced and fulfilling life. This might include exploring emotions, beliefs, fears, coping patterns, body sensations, and deconstructing societal norms.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Therapist and my therapeutic approach draws from attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, ACT, mindfulness, and somatic therapy. I am continuing my education by working towards EMDR certification, and am currently providing EMDR to select clients. My relational work draws from Gottman Therapy and EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy).

I address a range of concerns for both individuals, partners, and families including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship satisfaction, sex/sexuality, and alternative relationship styles. I work with a wide range of relationships including LGBTQ+ and polyamorous, and seek to create a sex-positive environment.

Prior to counseling I was a biologist and environmental educator, and spending time outside is still a priority. My free time is spent with loved ones, playing with my dog, camping, trail running, floating rivers, and continuing to learn, grow, and engage in my own healing journey.
