“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.” Sylvia Plath
I am providing both telehealth and in-person services.
Even the most painful emotions have wisdom to them. Instead of seeing your mental distress as just a disease, I view it as the brain telling us that things in your life need attention. This might relate to your body, to your relationships in life, to old thought patterns, to what you do with your days, to how society treats you. There are many roads that lead to suffering. I hope to work with you to identify the circumstances that make your situation unique, so we can better understand how to improve your well-being. Then, we can work together to slowly but surely make the necessary changes towards a life filled with richness and meaning. My work, first and foremost, is about building and savoring a life that you care about.
So often, we treat our pain like an enemy to be conquered. But pain is not the problem—it’s a signal, a call. It speaks in the language of longing: for connection, for safety, for meaning. In our work together, we won’t rush to silence it. We’ll listen. We’ll turn gently toward what hurts—not to fix it, but to understand what it’s asking of you. I’ll invite you to meet yourself with tenderness and patience, to grow your willingness to stay with what’s hard, and to take steps—however small—toward a life that feels rich and true. Change isn’t about erasing the hard parts. It’s about learning how to carry them with care, while making room for what brings you joy.
As a Social Worker, I understand how mental health problems can be a product of an oppressive society. For this reason, I value anti-racism, queer and trans liberation, climate justice, compassionate immigration policy, and a strong social safety net.
Alongside my traditional therapy training, I have received certification in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy from the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. My interest in this work comes from a desire to bridge the worlds of psychedelic healing and evidence-based mental health care. I believe that psychedelics, when held within legal, safe, and research-informed contexts, can offer powerful opportunities for growth. I also provide integration support for those reflecting on psychedelic experiences, with a focus on safety, support, and long-term change. Please note that I do not facilitate access to psychedelic substances or experiences outside of legalized settings in any way.
