Are you a creative and spiritual person drawn to exploring the depths of your identity, your experiences, and your beliefs? Have you struggled to listen to your intuition? What if you could feel safer inside your body, trust yourself more, and meet life with curiosity and compassion?
Therapy with me:
Healing and change can be overwhelming at times, and your inner critic can be loud – telling you all the ways you’re doing it wrong. My goal is to help you connect with your own intuition and uncover insights that surprise and move you. I may ask what color your feelings are, or we may follow a hunch together to see where it leads – riffing on ideas, making connections, exploring mind-body connections, and witnessing new understanding unfold in real time!
My clients are often ready to look beneath the surface and explore the values, beliefs, and experiences that shape their lives and relationships. I work with adults and teens moving through challenges such as divorce, self-harm, abuse, anxiety, rage, gender-based violence, grief, neurodivergence, loss, trauma, and PTSD. I’m also comfortable discussing the joys and challenges of sensuality and sexuality with individuals as well as partnered people.
I believe therapy works best when explored through a systems lens, recognizing that while personal healing matters, the forces of capitalism, racism, and other oppressive structures shape our experiences in ways that therapy will not cure. Naming and holding this truth together can create space for more expansive, compassionate narratives about who you are, where you come from, and what healing might look like for you.

Background
My teenage years were some of my most challenging. After earning my Bachelor’s in Youth Identity Development at the University of Oregon, I set out to support teens as a skills trainer and mentor. After years of overextending myself between my teen clients and my work as a preschool teacher at a residential treatment center, I returned to the creative and fulfilling world of dance. I spent many years as an entertainer and dance instructor, collaborating and organizing with the Portland sex trades community before pursuing my Master of Social Work at Portland State University. My familiarity with the global sex trades community both helped inform and hone my skills as a clinician. I am a passionate advocate for respectful and dignified clinical care for individuals from historically pathologized and marginalized groups.Who I am in the wild…
I love puttering around my house, making spaces cozy and inviting. I enjoy gardening, listening to audiobooks, crafting, and fiber arts.Are we a fit?
