Hi, I’m Audrey.

I became a therapist because I’m continually inspired by people’s capacity for growth, resilience, and connection. I have worked with individuals and families from many different backgrounds, identities, and stages of life, and I am grateful to offer therapy in both English and Spanish. I approach each person’s story with curiosity, compassion, and respect, recognizing the unique strengths, perspectives, challenges, and experiences each person brings into the therapeutic process.

I believe people are shaped by their experiences, relationships, identities, and the environments in which they live. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based, affirming, anti-oppressive practices that recognize the importance of understanding people within the context of their lives, communities, and relationships. I believe experiences of discrimination or being misunderstood can deeply impact well-being, connection, and belonging. I work alongside clients to explore the experiences that have shaped them, develop insight and skills, and move toward lives that feel authentic and aligned with what matters most to them.

I collaborate with psychiatrists, psychologists, lawyers, schools, and other professionals across healthcare and support systems when it helps clients and families feel supported, understood, and connected to the resources they need.

Continuing to learn through ongoing training, reflection, research, and advocacy is an important part of my commitment to my clients. When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring new trails with my dog, creating art from recycled materials, and finding ways to put chocolate in every recipe I cook.
