Being a therapist is the best job in the world. I treasure my relationships with the people I work with. I feel deep purpose in holding space for and elevating voices that have been silenced or neglected. In order to be fully present as a counselor, I dedicate time outside of work to nurture my own peacefulness. I run, cook, bake, spend time with important people in my life, play with my kids, read novels, and work on my own healing journey. I intentionally maintain a small enough practice that allows me to deeply focus on my clients goals for therapy.

As a white, cisgender, straight, woman in my mid-30s, I am conscious of how my identities impact my work. I practice as an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, feminist therapist and acknowledge that there are times when I fall short of those aspirational identities. I value repairing ruptures and see it as my responsibility to earn the trust of those I engage with.
