Reaching out for support is a powerful step. Finding a therapist you feel safe with is essential. My hope is that what you read here helps you sense whether we might be a good fit.

In terms of how I identify, I am first and foremost a mother, a daughter, a sister, and an auntie for blood and chosen family. I’m queer and neurodiverse. I live on Coastal Miwak land in Mill Valley, California with my children, my partner, and our cats. I feel deep gratitude for the land here and the ancestral and current communities that have tended to this place. My own ancestral roots trace back to the forests and fields of Eastern and Northern Europe.

My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped as much by lived experience as by formal training. Like many, I have moved through seasons of darkness and disorientation. Through contemplative practice, time in nature, and sustained inner work, I learned how to remain steady in the presence of intensity and extend compassion toward parts of myself I once struggled to accept. That journey deeply informs how I sit with clients today.

While my work is grounded in attachment science and nervous system awareness, it is also informed by a reverence for relationship — with ourselves, with one another, and with the living world. I support clients who are spiritually curious as well as those who simply want a grounded and steady space to make sense of their emotional lives.

I hold a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. My clinical training includes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychosynthesis, Hakomi, DBT-informed skills, sand play, and depth-oriented approaches that support emotional integration.

Clients often describe my presence as supportive, non-judgemental, warm, and grounded. I aim to offer a regulated and compassionate space where intensity can be held without overwhelm, and where humor and lightness can coexist with depth.
