I work with people 13+ in all sorts of relational combinations. This might be individually, with intimate partners, friends, siblings, family members, or others. All of my services are trauma-informed and grounded in person-centered, somatic, existential, feminist, and liberation theories. I see therapy as creative, collaborative, and relational. How you and I relate may mirror how you relate to other people in your life and the therapeutic process can help position your work in terms of a real, explored relationship. I see us as two human beings in the room, not as expert and patient. I intend to be honest, open, warm, and curious. We will work together to make sense of your experiences, identify difficulties, and integrate your resources to find meaning and the capacity to live a fuller life.
My approach is fundamentally anti-oppression, anti-racist, gender-expansive, LGBTQIA+ competent and affirming.
Individual sessions are 53 minutes and are $175.
Couple sessions are $300 for 75 minutes or $350 for 90 minutes.
Out of network reimbursement may be possible. Check with your insurance provider to see if they will reimburse you for mental health services.

Some Areas of Focus
I work with many areas of focus: anxiety, anger, depression, grief [pet, human, other], sexuality, work, relationships, gender, boundaries, trauma, family of origin, life transitions, chronic illness, and more.
The above is a brief, but relevant, list. These ongoing experiences can help sediment oppressive patterns of being. Our work together can help you find more movement, ease, and create an expanse for living.
It is a deep honor to support you in wherever you might be in your healing journey.
An Embodied Approach
“What seems to be said so suddenly has lived in the body for a long time”, David Whyte, A Seeming Stillness. The line from this poem well expresses my interest in embodied approaches to therapy. Sometimes language is unclear or not yet sayable. Working with and through the body can offer our experiences in a different way that can help ease suffering. It is well known that trauma lives in the body. One of the ways I listen is through my whole embodied presence which helps me sense into your experiences. In our work together, we might use breathwork, mindfulness, focusing, and somatic journeying to compliment traditional talk therapy.
To learn a bit more about these body-oriented approaches, see Resources and Info.
All of our therapeutic work is for you. So if this doesn’t feel like the right approach, that is ok! I value our relationship and put it before any technique. I rely on you for guidance and trust your experience.
Chronic Pain & Grief
Have you been experiencing physical pain? Our bodies can long suffer with pain and illness. The physical body is usually the last place for healing to happen. So even when we make mental, spiritual, and energetic shifts, it can take time for the physical body to catch up. Together, we can make sense of your physical pain and potentially create space from the burden of this kind of ongoing discomfort.
Grief can radically shift our whole beings. Grieving for our human loved ones tends to be more “allowed” than our for animal companions. Loss of our animals can be a huge disruption to our lives and be overlooked, disenfranchising, and under appreciated. Together we can explore shame, doubt, and any other feelings you may be experiencing around grieving these precious loved ones.
