Tending Hearts Therapy
Welcome
Tending to relationships with self and others is an ongoing process— this space is a recognition that the efforts we put into growing is a labor of love.
I'll be with you every step of the way.
Much like a tree, we grow, survive, twist, unfurl, and release in response to our environment. Our being carrying stories of where and how we have been. We are shaped by, and shape, the ecosystem we inhabit.
Often, our branches wax and wane with the seasons, but sometimes we experience barriers that inhibit our innate capacity to flourish and connect meaningfully with the world around us.
Our work together can offer you expansion to a more dynamic perspective of your obstacles—finding strength in vulnerability—so your roots and branches can discover their own creative routes towards nourishment.

Equity & Social Justice Statement
We all live under interlocking oppressive systems, with some impacted more than others. My stance is that social justice is a process of humanizing each other, from which we are driven to dismantle colonizing structures out of love.
In therapy this can look like emotional safety, humor, self-expression, accountability, play, interdependence, boundaries, care, and considering the ways to engage in relationship with self and others that resonate with deeply held values.
Some of my identity markers include: queer, neurodivergent, white, able-bodied, cisgender woman. It's a never- ending process to expand my awareness of how our unique experiences of being human are impacted, and leverage the intersection of my identities to support and engage with clients.
