doesn’t need to be stuffy or miserable to be effective
Healing feels weird. You don’t have to do it alone.
You bring the lore; I’ll bring the coping skills
We’ll make sense of your story together — no edits, no judgment
that I’ll meet you where you are with some radical acceptance, gentle reframing, and options
Longstanding issues with boundaries and self-worth
People with self-described “dark” or “dry” sense of humor. I see you!
When they start to independently reframe automatic beliefs or thoughts they’ve outgrown.
They feel relieved that they can trust me and that I understand them
I’d rather get there slow, steady, and with your trust, than rush through without rapport
We’re teammates
Queer, neurodivergent, people pleasers, perfectionists, and outsiders
You could benefit from a blend of flexibility, transparency, validation, and accountability
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing
Transparency, humility, curiosity, openness, autonomy, and humor
Easy to talk to, genuine, trustworthy
Through ongoing, intentional learning. I see it as a privilege to be trusted with people’s honest and vulnerable experiences, and with that privilege comes the responsibility to actively educate myself. My goal is to create a space where clients feel free to focus on what matters to them (including but not defined by their culture), without feeling burdened to explain or teach me about their identities or experiences.

I work especially well for folks who initially worried that therapy might not be a place where their “weirdness”, niche interests, dark humor, or “messy” thought process would be welcome. As a clinician with ADHD, my brain doesn’t just ‘get’ it, it is delighted by it! I want to know your lore. Please, take the scenic route – my brain is right there with you.
Spending time with my partner and our dog, reading in the backyard, baking bread, and chaos gardening the hard way (always the hard way).
I did not get diagnosed with ADHD until I was already working as a therapist. Working with clients inspired me to finally take this step and take better care of myself.

My work in various areas of the medical field: HIV/AIDS, hospice, suicide prevention for Veterans, Intimate Partner Violence. All of these roles have helped shape my expertise, my ability to stay calm under pressure, and informed my holistic approach.
I graduated undergrad at Loyola U. Chicago and got my MSW at University of Michigan
BS in Psychology, minor in Sociology
MSW in Interperson Practice, Communities and Social Systems, minor in Community Organizing.
I am licensed as an independent social worker in NM, CO, OR, and WA
I aim to offer supervision that is collaborative, non-hierarchical, and strengths-based. I believe supervision should be a space where you feel safe to try things out, reflect deeply, hone your clinical voice, and ask anything (as many times as you need – seriously). I have yet to meet someone who learns best when they’re feeling micromanaged or stressed.
I’d likely be most helpful to clinicians supporting adults, particularly queer folks, veterans, and people navigating family stress, life transitions, or boundary work. If you have clinical interests in ACT, MI, DBT, trauma-informed care, somatic practices, mindfulness, relational work, and/or systems theory, I’m in! If you’re the kind of therapist who learns best by doing, thinking out loud, or going on the occasional clinical tangent, we’ll get along great.
As a supervisee, you can expect me to approach things with humor, warmth, and transparency. Basically, I meet you where you’re at and we build from there. Our work will be grounded in what your clients need, what lights your brain up, and what challenges you.
