Who I work with

I offer psychotherapy, consultation, writing, and teaching rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through relationship. Whether we're exploring the complexities of identity, chronic illness, creative work, caregiving, or clinical practice, my hope is to create a space where curiosity can grow without pressure to arrive at quick answers.

My work is relational and collaborative. I pay close attention not only to what you're saying, but to the patterns, emotions, histories, and embodied experiences that shape how you move through the world. Rather than rushing toward solutions, we stay curious about what's emerging, trusting that deeper understanding often opens possibilities that force and certainty cannot.

People who work with me are often looking for a slower, more reflective kind of conversation—one that makes room for complexity while remaining grounded in everyday life. They want intellectual rigor without losing tenderness; depth without pretension; practical support without reducing themselves to a problem that needs fixing.

Many of my clients are queer or trans, artists, therapists, parents, caregivers, or people living with chronic illness or disability. Some are navigating burnout, changes in identity, or relationships that no longer fit. Others are simply looking for a place where they don't have to translate or defend the complexity of their experience.

How I work

I work well with people who are often carrying more than is immediately visible.

I also especially enjoy working with therapists and other care workers who are asking larger questions about how they want to practice. Together we might think about difficult clinical work, sustainable private practice, disability justice, embodiment, or how to build a professional life that reflects your values rather than someone else's expectations.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe therapy is not about becoming someone else—it is about developing a more compassionate relationship with who you already are.

People often describe my style as calm, engaged, thoughtful, and grounding. I bring warmth, clinical depth, and a genuine interest in understanding how our histories, relationships, bodies, and communities shape who we become. Together, we make room for uncertainty, contradiction, and the parts of ourselves that don't fit neatly into easy explanations.

My practice is informed by relational psychoanalysis, engaged Buddhism, poetry, disability justice and my own trauma healing journey. I have been in the mental health field for 16 years, working in various settings, having published on the topics of intergenerational trauma transmission, the treatment of eating disorders, the wellness industrial complex and gender dysphoria and toxic professionalism in mental health care.

I proudly co-direct proud The Kintsugi Therapist Collective (KTC) with my colleague, Onyx Fujii, LCSW. KTC is a virtual community offering embodied care, support, wisdom, and resources to trans and non-binary, BIPOC, chronically ill, and disabled mental health providers.

I currently reside on stolen Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land with my daughter and two rescue dogs.
