Welcome,

I hope to provide a soft landing place where we can focus on you and your needs.

Most who reach out to me are creative and sensitive types, queer, autistic &/or adhd. You may have been raised by emotionally immature parents/caregivers and are now navigating the lasting impacts of a traumatic, abusive, or emotionally neglectful childhood. You may find yourself stuck in moods and patterns that are incongruent with the life you want to live. You may be hoping to explore authentic self-expression, whether that be in the realms of gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, creativity, or more generally.

Our work together might involve deep verbal processing, somatic awareness, parts work, inner child work, creative expression, dreamwork, or Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). While therapy involves looking to the past, we’ll also bring awareness to the present. What’s happening within you right here, right now? What showing up in the relationship between you and me?

I’m rooted in trauma-informed practice and prioritize checking in with you about how therapy is feeling and following your pace. I’m culturally sensitive, politically-informed, and maintain an intersectional lens. I acknowledge the validity of intense feelings and existential fears related to the climate crisis.

My practice is entirely online. I offer individual therapy to adults of all ages across California.

About me…

I live in Santa Cruz with my partner, our chihuahua terrier, and our orange cat. I am queer and use they/she pronouns.

I like to spend my time creating art, crafting, and reading. I love hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities.

I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, emphasis in depth psychology, from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2021.
