I believe that healing occurs through relationships, with ourselves and with others. My therapeutic approach is relational, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe that you are the expert on your lived experiences and come into the therapeutic space with existing wisdom. Through developing trust, in our partnership, we will be able to explore your relationship with yourself, others, the systems you navigate, and the larger world around us. My goal is to co-create a space to explore pathways to regulation, coping, adaptation, and healing where you feel seen, heard, challenged, and accepted.

Because mental health matters! Our society operates in a framework of white supremacy that often leaves us isolated and pathologizes our ways of being in the world. While our differences can be sources of distress they can also be sources of joy, belonging, and celebration. It is an immense privilege and truly a joy to be able to support people on their mental health journeys in connecting to the tools, insights, and resources to support their healing.
I revel in the chance to connect with my loved ones over food and art. I am always playing around in the kitchen and get so much joy out of discovering new flavors and techniques. In the summer months, you will find me near the closest body of water, often with my wife and toddler in tow!
I am an avid fan of using the arts to access emotional insight and always exploring new music, theater, dance, writing, and visual expressions.
I love to spend time in nature, engage in intuitive movement, sing, swim, journal, read, and spend intentional time with my little one.
