I am a queer identifying therapist (She/Her/Hers)

I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation for healing, so I do my best to provide a therapeutic space that is safe and free of judgment for all diverse individuals, relationships, and families.

I have a laid back personality and maintain an active, direct, and authentically engaging therapy space. I plan to be alongside you as a supportive teammate to help work through the challenges.

My personal therapy approach is attachment based and integrated. I value therapy that evolves to meet each person’s unique needs. I am collaborative, process experiential, and humanistic, with a systemic lens.

My formal training includes a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in LGBTQ+ Couples and Family Therapy. I work to maintain a current and knowledgable practice by actively pursuing my training and education.

• My areas of focus include working with:

  • gender and sexual/affectional minorities

  • non-monogamy/relationship structure diversity

  • intersectionalities (intersecting identities) and minority stress

  • intimate relationships

  • family therapy

  • communication and conflict resolution

  • trauma processing

  • sex and kink positivity

  • anxiety and depression
