While life offers no shortage of distress from oppressive systems, personal traumas, and internal conflicts, therapy offers a space to slow down and come further into the wisdom of our present awareness. I work well with introspective people who want to deepen their insight into themselves and get curious about what causes them pain or gets in their way, as well as what brings meaning, joy, and connection. My presence as a therapist is compassionate, inquisitive, and actively engaged, and I incorporate experiential, mind-body approaches like mindfulness, meditation, parts work, and focusing-oriented therapy, along with a psychodynamic perspective (exploring connections between past experiences/relationships and current challenges).

I am a queer and trans-identified therapist with extensive experience providing therapy to LGBTQ+ folks on issues of sexuality and gender exploration, self-acceptance, and navigation of life changes, as well as general mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I can guide you in reflecting on past patterns that are no longer serving you, rewriting harmful messages you have internalized, and learning to treat wounded parts of you with deep tenderness and curiosity so you can free up space to choose new ways of being that better align with the life you’re wanting to live.
