My background is in social work. This means I focus less on pathology and more on how the systems around us and our experiences shape who we are and how we look at our worlds. I use narrative therapy to help you consider at the stories you tell about yourself and your life, how those stories shape your reality, and how to revise those stories in order to reduce your pain. I also use a psycho-somatic approach, meaning I focus on building bridges between your mind and your body. I'm in Esther Perel's training community, in which she invites a new clinician every month to answer questions about various treatment models. I draw from her work on vitality/ aliveness frequently. I also draw from Attachment Theory, which focuses on how your early experiences shape your response to stress and rejection, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), which focuses on using your true self to heal any parts of you that might be wounded or hurting. 

In January 2020, I graduated from Vermont College of Fine Arts with an MFA in Writing. Since I started the program, I have been studying the psychology of creativity and creativity as a spiritual practice. I draw from both fields of study when I work with artists and makers who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their process.
