Training

A sense of radical presence in body work and psychotherapy, as well as a desire to learn about systems’ impacts and possibilities led me to earn an MSW from Boston College. I’ve dived deep into the world of EMDR, and am currently in a program for psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.

I’m curious about how therapy can collaborate with political liberation and spirituality; how through speaking in therapy with the witness of a professional listener you can hear what you need to hear to take your next step.

I’m privileged to work with people who call themselves neurodivergent, psychotic, obsessive, borderline, addicts and normies; people who are going through transitions – in gender, health, family, their own or others’ death processes, spirituality, relationships; people who are trying to free themselves.

I’ve worked in rural and urban places, institutions and outpatient settings, mostly therapeutically but with some supervision and management roles as well.
