Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
- C. G. Jung
Welcome.
We come to therapy for many reasons: to untangle old patterns, to seek relief from emotional pain, to move through grief, to develop our capacity in relationships, to know ourselves more deeply.
In our therapeutic work together, your process will be unique. We will explore what you feel and how you express it, how your past experiences are influencing your present, and what calls your attention when it has space to be heard. We will have the opportunity to slow down dynamics and work with them. Curiosity, collaboration, and compassion will guide this work.
About Me
I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with an intersectional feminist and LGBTQIA+ affirming framework. In addition to a Masters in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on LGBTQIA+ psychotherapy, I have 2+ years of post-graduate psychoanalytic training, and teach topics related to Gender and Sexualities in a psychoanalytic program. My background includes work in the arts, in different narrative media, and the creative corporate world.
As part of the LGBTQIA+ community I have seen how intersecting systems of oppression affect individual and community mental health. Our relationship to power via our social identities is always present, and the therapeutic space is no exception. I am a white cisgender non-disabled queer femme woman, and bring consciousness of these identities into our work together.
I come to this work with an interest in bearing witness to human experience and development. By gaining a deeper understanding of your self, and exploring the parts of your psyche that may have been hidden from awareness, you create the conditions for transformation.

If you are interested in working with me, or would like more information, please reach out. I am happy to set up a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and other relationship structures. My fee in private practice ranges from $200 for individuals to $250 for couples/relationship work. I see patients on a weekly basis, and sessions are 50 minutes long.
I am able to offer superbills to patients whose insurance provides reimbursement. A percentage of my sessions are sliding scale, with priority given to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and members of the LGBTQIA community.
