I seek to create a therapeutic space that validates my clients’ identities and lived experiences. I believe the client and the counselor have expertise and insight to bring to the therapeutic relationship.  I practice from an integrated cognitive-behavioral and existential approach. I help clients learn skills, express and explore emotions and needs, and encourage personal growth and healing. I am trained in Brainspotting (a brain-body intervention used for treating trauma and other emotional processing) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (a relational approach based on attachment theory).

Some of my favorite clients to work with are those in the midst of life transitions, experiencing perinatal mood disorders, struggling with addiction, coping with anxiety and depression, and grief and loss. I am particularly interested in clients that carry a multiracial identity.

I continue to train in sexual health, eating disorders, and client-centered play therapy. I have been working with young people more and more and find great joy in that work.

I earned my Master of Professional Studies in Integrated Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota. My internships were centered on co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment for adults. 

My interests outside of work include hiking with my corgi, reading, cross-stitch, and enjoying local live music and theater.
