I'm a therapist because therapy saved my life. Through that lived experience, and with education and training, I help clients improve their relationship with themselves and others, navigating issues related to trauma, gender, sexuality, ENM, dating, boundaries, and self-worth. My clients are thoughtful people who have done the best they can on their own and are looking for additional support. They seek to expand their perspective, to feel differently in the world, and want lasting change. Together we'll create that change, and I firmly believe in your inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift you seek.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational, so I tend to be engaged and curious in the therapeutic space, offering observations, asking questions, and sharing any noticeable patterns or connections. Therapy can be understandably challenging, and I find great benefit in balancing difficult topics with levity and warmth.
I'm a trauma-informed LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist with specialized training in the exploration of gender, sexuality, and internalized oppression through an intersectional and culturally sensitive lens. I am trained in EMDR and I'm neurodiversity, non monogamy, kink, SWer, and body liberation affirming. If this resonates, reach out via email - let's connect!
