About Me

My work is rooted in the belief that we bring all of who we are into the therapeutic space — identities, bodies, stories, and connections. I’m committed to supporting clients and therapists from a framework of anti-oppression, fat liberation, trauma awareness, and embodied presence.

I identify as white, queer, fat, nonbinary, neurodivergent. I live with chronic illnesses, and I’m middle-aged and temporarily able-bodied. I also recognize how systems of power shape who has access, who is heard, and how we engage care. That awareness guides my work in therapy, supervision, and training.

I’m often asked if I have children. Yes, I am a parent. Parenting has taught me humility, compassion, grace, and presence — lessons I carry into every session.

The practices that sustain me include almost anything creative: tap dancing, making bad art, knitting, and relearning instruments I used to know how to to play. I relish our summers for opportunities to hike and camp with my family & our dog, Toby, and I'm learning to appreciate the rain.

I also believe where we’re from – our families, communities, cultures, places – shapes our experiences and the ways we make sense of the world and our place in it. I spent much of my life in Massachusetts on the traditional lands of the Massa-adchu-es-et (Massachusett), Naumkeag, Pawtucket, Nipmuc, and Agawam. I’m deeply appreciative of the years I lived outside the United States and the immigration experiences within my family. I will always be in awe of the mountains and the water here in the Seattle area where I work and reside on the traditional territories of the Duwamish, Snohomish, Suquamish, and Stillaguamish people. I’ve shared some photos below of places close to my heart.
