Individual Therapy
In therapy, I encourage building discernment and trust in your instincts, rooted in self-compassion and the unique values you hold. I approach therapy with curiosity, humor, compassion, and a deep respect for who you are and where you have been. Blending radical self-compassion with a belief in your ability to move toward change is central to my approach to therapy.

​Specialities
Maternal Mental Health and Matrescence
Matrescence refers to the major transformation associated with becoming a mother, beginning prior to conception and lasting well past postpartum. This experience creates actual structural changes in the brain and is a hormonal and physical shift as intense as puberty. It comes with deep identity shifts that can be both beautiful and deeply challenging. I love working with clients at any stage of this journey - whether you're still feeling ambivalent about parenthood, navigating pregnancy loss or struggling with fertility, in the throes of pregnancy, or walking through the weeds of postpartum. In therapy I work to help you process, heal from, and find your own sense of meaning within the varied experiences that many women experience during this life-altering transition, and help you identify archetypes, stories, and narratives that can offer a framework for you to locate and stand within your power and intuition.

Grief & Loss
Grief can be an unwelcome initiation to the deeper levels of life, and can be present after many different losses. I work to support you in telling the story of your grief and loss, in exploring deeper themes around death, loss, and grieving, and in finding your way through the tangled undergrowth. Grief can unfold in a spiral - with each season of life, we can revisit our losses from a new vantage point, and in that way we stay connected to those we have lost. I work to help you claim your agency within your journey of grief, tend to the emotional, spiritual, and psychic wounding you may have sustained, and locate the rituals, frameworks, and stories that can offer you comfort and guidance as you move through this season of life.

Other specialities include: healing from family-of-origin wounding, women's issues beyond matrescence, and ecotherapy.
