In my therapy practice, I use an eclectic approach that blends person-centered principles with mindful self-compassion. I believe in working relationally, providing my clients with a safe and supportive space for open communication and self-exploration.
I work as a compassionate ally, helping my clients to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion which empowers them to better understand and regulate their own emotions and behaviors, and ultimately to create more fulfilling and meaningful relationships with others.
Working from a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, I help my clients alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, navigate difficult life transitions, heal from past traumas, and improve their overall quality of life.
I believe that all of us have the power to create positive change in our lives, and I am passionate about supporting people on their journeys of healing and growth. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey towards the most aligned version of yourself.
I'm pleased to be working in private practice where I welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are looking for kind and compassionate support through life’s many challenges. I work with individual adults, children and teens.

"I provide a space that is nourishing, non-judgmental, and anchored in trust as I support clients in deepening their understandings of themselves, cultivating healthy and satisfying relationships, and developing tools and resources to manage the challenges that get in the way of feeling fulfilled in their lives."

I am dedicated to a helping vocation, and enjoy counseling one-on-one, couples, and families. My approach to counseling is first to strive to enter the worldview of my clients: I want to understand your values and beliefs and interact with the world as you see it.
Compassionate, non-judgmental attention is the cornerstone of healing. I embody an attuned, shame-free, and supportive presence to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I help you develop greater insight into yourself and your relationships and put those realizations into practice.
I incorporate somatic and mindfulness techniques into counseling. With a trauma-informed approach, we can explore difficult emotions while managing the intense experiences that can arise. Learning to understand your emotions is the first step to developing the self-regulation skills to help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression.
I am queer and trans affirming, and am supportive of all religious and spiritual beliefs. I believe increasing self-awareness and insight are important steps towards personal fulfillment, and that includes whatever you bring to counseling.
When not counseling clients, I enjoy reading, kitchen projects with my partner, playing with my bonded-pair cats, drinking fine tea & coffee, and distilling hydrosols and essential oils from home-grown aromatic herbs. I live in Santa Rosa, California.

My therapeutic style is trauma-informed, collaborative, and holistic, taking into consideration the connection between mind and body. I use a person-centered, integrative approach, incorporating somatic and mindfulness work with evidenced-based modalities including EMDR and ACT, as well as the Gottman Method when working with couples.
I believe in the importance of connection - connection to self, connection to others, connection to the natural world. Connectedness is a powerful antidote to feelings of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness. I enjoy working with people who want to feel a deeper sense of connection, in any therapy format: individual, couple, or family therapy sessions. In our work together I aim to provide a therapeutic container that allows for deep exploration of your emotions, beliefs, patterns, and values, in order to gain new awareness and skills, and improve your relationship with yourself and others.
I specialize in treating trauma through the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. EMDR is an effective, research-backed method that utilizes bi-lateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, sounds, buzzers, etc.) to activate both sides of the brain in order to reprocess and heal from past trauma, distressing events, and negative beliefs. If you experience unwanted flashbacks, panic, dissociation, or other distressing symptoms and have not found relief in traditional talk-therapy, EMDR may be of interest to you.
As a neurodivergent therapist, I am neurodiversity affirming, as well as queer and trans affirming and sex positive. I believe healing happens most readily in a space that is compassionate, non-judgemental, and most of all, feels safe to you. I particularly enjoy working with ADHD adults and adolescents.
