My therapy practice is focused within the LGBTQ+ community, individuals of the global majority, the disability/chronic illness/chronic pain community, and nonmonogamous individuals and couples. Often times individuals with whom I work have spent their lives navigating systems that silence their voices. I focus on creating a space where compassion comes first, the client’s perspective and voice drives our work together, and modality follows.
The therapeutic environment I provide is clinically skilled, evidence based, and informed by lived experience.
I am part of the Pro Choice Therapist Network, LGBTQ healthcare provider directory, and participate in the Everywhere Is Queer network.
I have provided trainings on trauma informed care for queer and trans folks, and believe that the use of a trauma informed lens in practice is crucial given the society and systems in which we are existing.
Prior to moving to clinical social work practice, I worked in nonprofit and case management. This allows for a broader systems understanding in therapy, especially when paired with a graduate level public health degree. I also hold a certification from the Integrative Sex Therapy Institute as a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP).
