choosing connection is worth it!

Cultural & Accessibility Consultation

I often say that I walk between worlds, which is one of the things that draws me to therapy. But I’m not just a therapist. I’m also a proud disabled, queer, biracial person of white and Southwest Asian/North African Jewish descent, and have navigated multiple cultures, ways of seeing, and ways of being, for as long as I can remember. 

My experience in the therapy field has led to some irreplaceable learning about how to support others in making sure their businesses, practices, and communities are considering and welcoming the needs of those on the margins. If this is something you’re interested in (and you’re not a former therapy client or hoping to become a therapy client in the future!) please drop me a line. I’m always interested in connecting with other people who prioritize emotional, cultural, and physical accessibility in their lives.

In my clinical and consultation work I prioritize decolonial perspectives and oppose colonialism, imperialism, and occupation in all forms.

I’m happy to talk for free, payment, or trade — whatever ends up seeming right.

My philosophy

I practice the belief that choosing connection is worth it by working collaboratively with you through every part of our journey. Through focusing on your inherent strengths and wisdom, we connect professionally so you can move forward with security and self-compassion.

My Background & Approach

I completed a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling in 2017. I combine relational & individual therapy techniques to create a customized treatment plan for every client, with a special emphasis on trauma-informed care, parts work, and attachment-based perspectives.

I have focused my career on working with LGBTQ, disabled, and ethnically & racially marginalized clients, and personally hold these identities.

When not in practice I enjoy singing, going on nature walks, reading historical fiction, stargazing, and engaging in spirituality & celebration with my cherished community and loved ones!
