How I Do This Work:

I lead with curiosity and warmth and I am not afraid of being silly and laughing alongside you! While we will explore and work through your struggles, I also want to learn about your interests and passions. I take a collaborative approach and believe that you are the expert on your own life. I provide a supportive container while also gently nudging you toward greater self-awareness and growth. Above all, I prioritize building a human relationship based on trust and care.

I work from a systemic orientation and acknowledge the impact of relational, familial, and societal systems. I draw from Attachment Theory and utilize Narrative and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of interaction and implement changes that better serve you and your relationships. I am particularly drawn to working with folks who are experiencing the impacts of purity culture, religious trauma, sexual shame and anxiety, and identity exploration.

A bit about me as a human: I spend most of my free time running (or thinking about running), playing with my scruffy dog, and searching for the best almond croissant in the city. I love to read, watch women’s soccer, and sit on my couch with a pint of ice cream. I grew up in Houston, Texas but have been lucky to reside in the Pacific Northwest since 2019.
