About Me

I’m a queer, nonbinary, white, neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about helping people recover from painful experiences, navigate life stress, and reconnect with their sense of self. I specialize in trauma healing—including EMDR Therapy—and work with all forms of trauma, including religious trauma and trauma rooted in identity, relationships, and lived experience. I also support clients exploring gender dysphoria, identity development, neurodivergent experiences, and major life transitions.

I proudly provide gender-affirming letters for trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse clients, and I’m committed to offering a space where you are affirmed, respected, and understood.

I am an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR therapist and am licensed in California, Oregon, and Wisconsin. I am in-network with several insurance plans and also provide superbills for out-of-network clients.

My Values

My work is grounded in creating a therapeutic space that supports your autonomy, validates your identity, and honors the cultural, social, and systemic contexts you move through.

My core values reflect an anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist, feminist framework that guides both my work and my personal life. I approach therapy through a pro-liberation, anti-oppressive, and human-centered lens, meeting you exactly where you are and supporting you with compassion, empowerment, and clarity.

Therapeutic Approach

My therapeutic style is grounded in authenticity, empathy, safety, and growth. Therapy can be deeply personal and beautifully challenging, and my goal is to create a space where you can explore without judgment. I am a relational therapist and share parts of myself when it helps clients feel more comfortable, connected, or grounded.

I use a holistic, person-centered framework that honors your humanity, dignity, and lived experience. I integrate multiple evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities depending on your needs:

Modalities I Use

• EMDR Therapy, including Attachment-Focused EMDR, to reprocess upsetting or traumatic experiences

• Parts Work / Ego State Therapy to explore and support the different parts of yourself

• Collaborative goal-setting and optional between-session practices (journaling, worksheets, reflection prompts)

• Guided meditations, grounding techniques, and resource-building for emotional regulation

• Self-compassion and shame-reduction practices

• DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful coping

• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you live more aligned with your values and create meaningful behavioral change

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to explore unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and patterns and move toward nonjudgmental change

Together, we tailor therapy to fit you—your identity, your needs, and your goals.

Outside of Therapy

Outside of work, I’m a self-described theater nerd who loves watching musicals and singing along to my favorites. I enjoy audiobooks—usually thrillers or nonfiction—keeping up with my favorite TV shows, and exploring my city or traveling to new places. I love being near water and spending time by lakes or the ocean. You can often find me meeting friends for coffee, wandering through art museums, or working on the occasional craft project.
