"In therapy, I strive to create a space that feels comfortable and genuine. I’m personable, intentional, and believe that therapy can hold both meaningful conversations and moments of humor and lightness. Clients can expect me to listen without judgment, meet them where they are, and be thoughtful about creating a space where they feel heard and supported."
Audrey is a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in trauma-informed, strengths-based social work and experience. Her previous roles include work in child welfare and foster care, such as supporting foster families, providing crisis intervention, coordinating therapeutic placements, advocating for client needs, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These experiences provided her with a strong foundation in family systems, care coordination, and navigating complex mental health and social service needs.

Audrey is fluent in American Sign Language, and bridges the gap in language interpretation in order to help increase accessible and culturally-responsive mental health care.

What do you do for fun?
"Outside of work, I love reading, baking, going to concerts (you’ll probably find me in the mosh pit), and spending time with my cats and dogs. I also love traveling with my husband and finding new places to explore together. Basically, if I’m not at home with my pets and a good book, I’m probably planning my next trip or looking for the next concert to go to!"

You deserve care that sees the whole picture, not just the surface. We know that factors like race, gender identity, sexuality, socioeconomic status, & disability can shape reproductive experiences in powerful ways. Here you’ll find therapists who recognize those realities & are committed to creating a space where your story is honored without judgment.
At Holding New Therapy, we know reproductive journeys aren’t always what you imagined. Alongside the joy, there can be loss, exhaustion, anxiety, or a sense that everything about your world has shifted overnight.
