Are you in a queer relationship that feels like it's failing? Do you feel fed up with your relationship with yourself? Are you curious about your own role in relationships? Relationships have emotional pieces that can often feel overwhelming to navigate. I can understand the impact that relational issues can bring into your life, and how strenuous it is to manage. Whether it be relational or individual, emotions can feel hard. I am passionate about helping self-motivated individuals and couples, who want to hit the ground running, connect with their emotional self, discover more of their identity, and work out relational pains!
I know that seeking out therapy can be an incredibly vulnerable and scary decision, which is why it is important for me to create a space for my clients to be their most authentic self. I do this through my genuine coach-like style of therapy. I'm honest and direct, telling you how it is, but with empathy, humor, and kindness.
I believe my clients are the ultimate experts of their life and honor their autonomy. I lean in to my clients unique experiences and identities. Collaboration with my clients on treatment goals and providing feedback throughout therapy is important to me, so that you feel seen and heard throughout the process. Contact me today to learn more!

For couples therapy, I use a variety of models to best fit my clients. Oftentimes, it includes me asking questions about common fights or misunderstandings you and your partner experience. This process of couples therapy can take anywhere from 4-10 sessions. This allows me the time to best understand your relationship, and develop a treatment plan that best suits you and your partner.

My favorite types of therapy are Internal Family Systems, Attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness. With each of these theoretical foundations, our first session will include us getting to know one another and understand what you're bringing to therapy holistically.
