I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate and received my Master of Arts in Psychology from Seattle University. Before joining therapy-land, I worked in the developmental disability field for over a decade. Before that, I trained as a classical singer and have a Bachelor of Music from Boston University. In between, I quit my job and traveled for a bit. All these phases of my life have taught me lessons that I bring with me as we work together.

Ultimately, I arrived where I am now because I’ve been through the muck and experienced the transformative power of therapy for myself- and still do. I (maybe like you) know what it is like to grow up in a world that is constantly telling you to be different- and if only you were, you would be happy. I (maybe like you) have struggled to find my own forms of love and acceptance of a body that rarely fits the ever-changing beauty standards. I (maybe like you) have struggled to accept the limitations of my body as it navigates a chronic illness I never asked for. Healing never ends and I am committed to continued learning and growth as a therapist and as a human.

I identify as queer, white, chronically ill, fat (it’s not a bad word!), Ashkenazi Jewish (non-practicing), female. My work is informed by an anti-oppressive lens. I am continually deconstructing the colonial-centered ways in which I was (explicitly and implicitly) taught to see the world.

I’m from the northeast and have a healthy dose of hometown pride (ask me my opinions about bagels). My favorite thing in the world is a table filled with good people and good food.
