ABOUT ME 

Spending 10 years in Spain and the Netherlands taught me the importance of community, understanding different perspectives, vulnerability, constant change, and hard lessons in love. While I was there, I spent 5 years as a school teacher for young children (3-5), as well as gained a Master's of Science in Environmental Sustainability and did behavioral science research for 5 years. Alongside my work as a therapist, I spend a lot of time in the ocean surfing, climbing, and making pottery. I am a former D1 athlete, so movement is how I love to experience the world.

WAY OF WORK
I work with a non-pathologizing approach, always honoring the unique knowledge and abilities you have about your life. In my work with individuals, couples, and families, my approach is grounded in non-judgment and support. I truly believe we are all more than a single story or label, and we are able to make different choices than in the past. I help you explore your experiences, uncover new perspectives, and create steps toward the future you are hoping for.
