About

Welcome! I work with adults who are seeking to better understand their emotions, build insight into their thought patterns, and create better relationships and quality of life for themselves. I have worked in many different communities over the last 20 years specializing in LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and newcomer/immigrant populations. I have a particular interest in working with multiracial individuals around racial identity development, expression, and pride.

Clinically, I work from relational, trauma-informed, and systems approaches, keeping in mind the many dimensions of wellness such as social support, physical health, and connection to self, to name just a few. I believe we are shaped by both our environment and internal wiring and view therapy as an avenue to better understand the confluence of these, as well as a support in pursuing one’s hopes, dreams, and personal potential. I have been told I come across as present, collaborative, and real in how I show up as a therapist.

I identify as a queer cis woman of biracial descent. When not in the therapy office, you will find me outside at one of our amazing parks with my dog, or perhaps on a quest to find the best cappuccino in town.
