"We are all in the process of becoming." —Audre Lorde

In my 14+ years of counseling experience, I have worked with individuals throughout the human lifespan and it has deeply informed my personal and professional work. I honor who you had to be in the past, who you are now, and who you are becoming.

My work with clients is affirming and collaborative; I find that utilizing many models, including internal family systems, attachment-based interventions, mindfulness practice and somatic work help to provide a more comprehensive understanding of our barriers as well as our potential.

Having spent several years as an Infant Mental Health Therapist, I enjoy working with mothers in the postpartum stage to support what can be a difficult life transition. Increasing your ability to regulate emotions supports connection with your little one.

I also specialize in work with those who are interested in personal growth through the use of the Enneagram, a trusted tool for personal and spiritual transformation.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic partnership in helping you access your highest self.
