About Me

We are all capable of facing and overcoming hard things, and having someone genuinely alongside you in that process makes the journey feel a whole lot more possible.

My style is collaborative and curious. We figure it out together. I'm not here to hand you answers or tell you what your experience means. I'm here to be in it with you, ask the questions worth asking, and help you untangle the things that have felt too scary to look at alone.

What I care most about is creating a space where you actually feel safe, not just on paper, but in your body. Safe enough to say the thing you haven't said out loud yet. Safe enough to sit with the scary stuff. Safe enough to just be a person, not a patient.

My clinical work centers women, mothers+ (including trans and nonbinary parents, and chosen family), youth, educators, and change-makers working through relationships and generational trauma, all through the lens of decolonizing what healing looks like outside of individualistic, pathologizing models. This includes couples work for partners who feel they've had to contort themselves to fit rigid, one-size-fits-all ideas of what a relationship "should" look like, and who are ready to figure out a different way, together. It also includes individual counseling for young people navigating systems that weren't built to see their full selves, in close partnership with their schools, so they have the tools and the support to believe in their own capability.

My Professional Background

Since 2013, I've worked inside nearly every layer of the systems that raise us: as a counselor for K-12 youth, as a school and district trainer helping educators build socioemotional practice into their schools, and as a district administrator shaping policy for student, family, and staff wellbeing alike.

That range taught me something I don't see named enough: there is a gap in tending to the mental health of the adults holding these systems up: the mothers+, the educators, the changemakers, the advocates who want to keep going but feel beat down by a broken world. It's a gap that shows up in relationships, and in the expectations placed on women about what success and love are supposed to look like.

I built my practice for us.
