Do you feel that therapeutic support would help you grow and flourish? Have you wondered why things often feel so hard? What would it be like to feel happier and understood?
Therapy with me:
Childhood is often portrayed as some of the happiest and most care-free times of our lives, but in reality: being a kid is complicated. When we create an environment rooted in kindness, curiosity, and openness, we make space to feel safe being our most authentic selves—whatever that looks like. At times, the world can be unkind, so let’s choose to treat ourselves gently.
Through talking, games, art, and play, you can explore your thoughts and feelings about life, the world, and the things that feel beyond your control. Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, and big emotions by giving you space to express yourself, explore who you are, and make sense of your relationships and family dynamics.
Young people are far more capable than they’re often given credit for—and it can sometimes feel like no one is really listening. In therapy, you get to be heard. I want to know about the new Roblox update, the music you like, and anything else that matters to you. Tell me all about it! When things get tough, talking openly can help, but you also get to be creative, playful, and silly along the way.
Parents, you also deserve support and guidance!
You can learn to work more effectively together as a family, to understand your child’s unique needs, and navigate the challenges presented by historically oppressive systems. Through parent coaching, I provide skills, education, and collaborative problem-solving strategies to support your needs and values as a parent, while encouraging you to honor the individual your child is and continues to become.

Professional background
I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work. Most of my professional experience has been rooted in serving young people and their families. Working with queer youth and families is my priority. My goal is for our therapeutic space to feel like a relief.
I’ve known since I was a child that I wanted to work with young people. This work feeds my soul and gives my life meaning. The magic, authenticity, and pure hearts of children have the power to change the world, and being a supportive adult who walks beside them on that journey means everything to me.
Who I am in the wild…
I love music, video games, and animals—especially cats. I’m very close with my family and find joy in reading and creative activities like collaging, drawing, and painting. I have a deep affinity for tiny things, and I hope to never lose my sense of childlike whimsy.
