About Me

I’m a former high school teacher and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. My work has always centered around people, relationships, culture and identity, advocacy, care, and the stories that need telling. As a therapist, these are the values that guide my work.

My style is integral, holistic, and depth-oriented - meaning I value your multiplicity, aim to meet you where you are, and bring what’s unconscious into the conscious. No two sessions look alike. I often utilize somatic practices, mindfulness, parts work, guided imagery, and a trauma-informed lens while drawing from relational, psychodynamic, contemporary psychoanalytic, and polyvagal theories. I enjoy working with symbolism, archetypes, metaphor, imagery, art and dreams as I believe they grant us access to unconscious and vivid material that words just…can’t.

My intention is to create a mindful, collaborative, and affirming space, one in which everything you are and believe in is welcomed (there are no bad parts!).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, I’m accepting new clients and invite you to reach out!

  • My full fee is $170 per 50 minute session. When possible, I offer a number of sliding scale spots for folks unable to afford my full fee.

    If I’m unable to accommodate you, I will assist you in finding other options that feel like a good fit.

  • Sessions are typically 1-2x per week for 50 minutes. I ask clients to commit to meeting weekly, especially at the start of therapy. This commitment supports trust and rapport in our therapeutic relationship and progress towards your therapeutic goals.

    Occasionally, there are exceptions. Let’s talk about your unique needs during our consultation call.

  • It’s important for the continuity of therapy that you come to all sessions. Since your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you, there is a 1-week notice cancellation policy. In other words, if you cancel within 1 week of your scheduled session you will be charged for the session.

  • At this time, I do not take insurance. If your insurance covers out-of-network mental health services, I can provide you with a superbill for reimbursement.

  • Currently, I am only able to offer telehealth but this may change in the future.
