I’m a Master’s-level Marriage and Family Therapy intern from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. I am a queer, neurodivergent, second-career therapist-in-training on a journey to live an authentic and embodied life. I support adults, teens, families, and couples navigating all phases of life. I believe therapy is a collaborative practice of liberation, and strive for clients to feel seen, supported, and capable.

My approach is systemic, somatic (body-based), and mindfulness-centered. I practice through a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and anti-oppressive lens. I firmly believe that community, nature, and self-compassion are essential for healing and growth.
