About Me

I believe in strength-based and recovery-based practices, which view the client as innately whole and healthy. From this perspective, my job is to help you to see your strengths, remember times of happiness or health, identify supports, and empower you to get back to a place of equilibrium. This is true regardless of whether my client is an individual, couple, or family. As an able-bodied, white, middle-class, married, cis-het woman, I am aware of my many dimensions of privilege. As a therapist, I hold additional power within the therapeutic relationship, which means it is crucial that I notice what I bring into the room and hold myself accountable. I incorporate anti-racist strategies in my personal and professional spheres and am constantly improving in my recognition of my own privilege and implicit biases. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and am experienced with LGBTQIA+ clients, clients with disabilities, clients who are working on body liberation or deconstructing the body hierarchy, and kink/poly clients.
