I currently have a lot of availability on weekdays during the day. I have a limited number of immediate openings for individual clients. Currently accepting couples for a short wait list. I enjoy working with queer and neurodiverse clients on a variety of issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all kinds. Communication and transitions can be difficult, but growth is possible.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, my therapeutic lens is systemic and relational. I bring humor and acceptance into sessions while using a combination of Feminist Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cooperative Therapy in practice.

Feel free to reach out if you are looking for a place without judgment or shame. If I'm not a good fit, I'm happy to work on referrals to those to may be.
