Hello, and welcome! I know that choosing a therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I hope this gives you a little sense of who I am and how I approach my work as a therapist.
“The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.”
-Parker J. Palmer
Hello, and I’m glad you’re here. I’d love to share a little about myself because I know how much “goodness of fit” matters when it comes to choosing someone to share your story with.
My clinical experience includes providing counseling people across the lifespan, from tweens to older adulthood, and all the ages and stages in between! During my time in a community mental health setting, I had the opportunity to support people through a wide range of circumstances, challenges, and life transitions.
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and trauma- and IFS-informed. What do all those terms mean? At their heart, they mean that you matter. Your stories, experiences, and all the relationships that have shaped and formed you, matter in the work we do together. IFS and trauma-informed work honors the pace and capacity each person brings as they gently unpack who they are, what they’ve been through, and begin to discover where they want to go from here.
Life can be hard, and therapy can be especially helpful when we find ourselves caught in unhealthy coping patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or having a hard time in relationships, whether with a partner, friend, parent, or other important person in our lives. Therapy can also provide a safe and steady place to process grief, loss, or the natural transitions of life (at any age) that can leave us feeling uncertain, scared, or overwhelmed.
If any of this resonates with you, I would be honored to walk alongside you. There may be seasons when healing feels almost impossible, and you don't have to navigate those seasons alone!
If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out for a complimentary fifteen minute meet-and-greet. It’s a chance to connect, ask questions, and get a feel for whether working together feels right for you.

My approach to counseling is relational, psychodynamic, trauma and IFS informed, and integrative.
I believe therapy is a process, beginning with the development of safety and trust. As author Parker J. Palmer says, “The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.”
I want the therapy room to be a place where you feel safe, valued, and free to show up as you are and to know that we will move at a pace that honors your experiences and feels manageable for you.
Over time, we may explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, become curious about patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and pay attention not only to your thoughts, but also to your emotions. I also believe our bodies hold important information about our experiences, so when helpful, we may pay attention to what you notice physically as well as what you think and feel.
My hope is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater capacity to hold the joy, pain, uncertainty, and complexity that are part of being human.

My path to becoming a counselor grew out of both my personal and professional experiences. Having people I trusted walk alongside me as I made sense of experiences from my own childhood and difficult seasons has been an important part of my journey toward healing. I know personally how meaningful it can be to have a place where you feel safe enough to explore your story honestly and where you don't have to navigate it alone.
Before becoming a therapist, much of my professional life was spent in education, writing, editing, mentoring, and community work. I taught writing and literature and spent ten years as a co-founder and senior editor of a literary magazine. Throughout these different roles, I found myself continually drawn to people's stories, to listening closely, asking questions, and helping people find language for what they were trying to understand or express.
Over time, I also realized that I longed to work with people in a more personal and holistic way. I wanted the opportunity to know someone beyond a classroom or a piece of writing, and I wanted to build relationships and have the privilege of witnessing growth and change. Counseling brought together so many of the things I had valued throughout my life: curiosity about people and their stories, a desire to support people through difficult times, and the opportunity to engage the whole person.
My clinical experience has included providing counseling to children, adolescents, and adults in a community mental health setting. Working with people of different ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances has deepened my respect for the complexity of each person's story and my belief in our capacity for growth and change.
Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in long walks and unexpected moments of beauty, traveling somewhere new, and time with my adult children – whether they’re coming home from far away or simply stopping by for dinner because they’ve forgotten to buy groceries. I’m also learning to enjoy the possibilities and surprises of this new chapter of life.
