Therapy with kids
Child-centered expressive arts therapy is a unique approach that uses creative expression—art, play, music, movement, and more—to help children explore emotions, discover themselves, and heal.
As a teacher for over a decade, I can support your understanding of your child's development and current needs, regardless of age.
Therapy with adults
I see clients experiencing change moment to moment. Therapy is not a means to an end. At times, life can be super overwhelming. The next moment, we feel deeply happy. I will help you change your relationship with yourself. Sessions with me can include mindfulness instruction, expressive arts coaching, and traditional talk therapy.
Online Groups
I run a number of free or reduced-cost groups each week/month.
A monthly activist group takes place on the fourth Monday of the month.
Tuesdays - Cultivate Curiosity
Thursdays - Queer Business Connection

A thoughtful, human-centered approach to therapy
My work is grounded in: Existential Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Humanistic Therapy
Additional Modalities: Somatic Therapy, Coaching, and Person-Centered Therapy.
Together, we explore your inner world at your pace—through conversation, creativity, and embodied awareness.
Why cultivate curiosity?
Have you had a creative practice and let it go? Do you have a practice and want support to keep you moving along? Or have you tried mediation, other healing practices, and they did not stick? I might be able to help.
About
In our work together, you'll learn to sit with your feelings rather than avoid or suppress them. As both an educator and therapist, I bring varied life experience to our sessions. I won't give constant advice or tell you what to do—I'll help you find your own path.
Completing a 400-hour program in Person-Centered Expressive Arts inspires my work; so art, music, and movement are available tools if you're looking for more creative ways to connect.
Holding Space for Healing, Identity, and Connection
A space to explore what you're carrying, who you are, and how you want to move forward—with care, curiosity, and support.
You don’t have to go through this alone
Support for anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, adolescent struggles, codependency, and life transitions, including LGBTQIA+ and identity support.
Make space to reconnect with yourself
A weekly online group designed to help you build gentle, creative habits that support your well-being, overall balance, and a more grounded daily rhythm.
Deep commitment to gender-affirming care
Compassionate, informed support for trans and gender-diverse individuals, including letters for care, identity exploration, and ongoing therapeutic guidance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a white person with unearned privilege, I'm committed to ongoing anti-racist work in my professional and personal life. It can be challenging, but it is so vital. For six years, I've met regularly with online groups dedicated to this work, which has helped me confront the parts of myself shaped by white supremacy and actively unlearn those patterns. I share this to hold myself accountable and continue challenging systems of oppression.
Online and in-person services available. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (#83020).
I work with Lyra, an employee assistance plan. This service is covered by your employer: Lyra Health. Other than this, I am a private pay practice.
