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!

Trauma symptoms are a normal response to abnormal circumstances. They may have helped you survive, feel safer, or protect you. They may also be misaligned with where you're at now. Recovering from trauma is typically categorized by stabilization, processing, and integration. I can meet you at any point on this timeline and help you move forward at a pace that feels safe.

I aim to find balance between practical skills with everyday application and deeper internal work because barriers to our goals often live in both the internal and external. Ultimately, I tailor my approach to what you find resonant and that collaboration starts with the first consult call as we begin to explore your world and the challenges therein.
