I am a white, cis, able-bodied woman and these aspects of my identity inform my perspective. I work from an identity and culture affirming lens. My style is warm, active, and collaborative, with a focus on creating change here and now. Underlying all of this is the formation of a professional, genuine, and trusting working relationship between us.

I use CBT/DBT approaches, grounded in the understanding that our environments (e.g., marginalization, racism) strongly impact mental health. I believe that at the core, effective therapy is about creating a secure relationship within which new learning can occur, and this guides my overall philosophy.

Outside of my clinical work, I have a rigorous self-care practice to instill balance, meaning, and joy. My self-care is made up of a lot of hobbies (sports, playing piano, reading literary fiction, listening to podcasts & music, watching movies on Mubi, botanical drawing, and learning Italian very slowly), advocacy work, travel, and time with my toddler, my friends, and family.
