Meet Our Team

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.”

This is one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite therapists, Carl Rogers. I agree wholeheartedly with this quote, believing that counseling should be a place where we start by exploring your life through a non-judgemental lens. In our work together, we’ll lean into curiosity and explore the ways that both past and current experiences are impacting your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. This stance of curiosity often leads to greater self-understanding and self-compassion, which in turn allows us to heal and grow in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. 

My hope is that as we work together, even parts of your life that feel dark, scary, or shameful become places that feel safe to explore and heal. 

I work with individuals aged 14+ and couples. Here are some signs that I may be a good fit for you:

• You want to better understand yourself, including ways that your past experiences may be impacting your current thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. 

• You sometimes ask yourself, “What’s wrong with me?!” 

• You are interested in developing coping strategies to help you manage challenging situations or intense 

• You’ve experienced trauma and would like to reprocess it. I am trained in EMDR and parts work, which are approaches that can help reduce the impact of trauma in your life. 

• You’re a highly sensitive and/or gifted person trying to navigate life in a way that feels good and supportive for your needs.

Depending on what you’re looking for, I may draw on a number of therapeutic approaches in our work, including CBT, EMDR, parts work, existential therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and Gottman Method. It’s okay if you don’t know what these are – what’s important is that we’ll work together to weave together the approaches that feel most beneficial for your needs. 

A few “fun facts” about me - I moved to Tucson in 2023 and love the sunshine and easy access to beautiful hiking trails. I have lived in Alabama, Illinois, Connecticut, and Virginia and can’t break the habit of saying “y’all.” Prior to becoming a counselor, my studies focused on the humanities, and I still enjoy reading broadly. 

Finding the right fit in a therapist is incredibly important. Feel free to set up a 15-minute video consultation if you would like to learn more about my approach and how I can support you.
