I am a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) and licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT). I work from a foundation of person-centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy and emphasize trauma informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink positive and culturally responsive care. As a queer person living in a larger body, I believe firmly in the right of every person to receive weight-neutral, size-inclusive care.

My work focuses on working collaboratively with clients to develop caring and compassionate relationships in a space of safety and healing. I utilize traditional talk therapy as well as working through recorded music, singing, improvisational music-making and instrument play to encourage creativity and enhance joy. I believe therapy is a place for you to work on connecting to the most authentic you, whether that means reassessing current life patterns, or walking with you on a journey to explore gender, sexuality, romantic interests or many others. I love watching clients unfurl and bloom into their happier self.

I have received advanced training in trauma and the arts from Kint Institute, have had writing focused LGBTQIA+ issues in several professional publications, and presented at national and regional conferences. I was the co-author of a chapter in Creative Arts Therapies and the LGBTQ Community, and several articles on the importance of LGBTQIA+ focused care for older adults. I also run workshops and individual sessions utilizing singing as a form of wellness, and supportive groups for body neutrality/fat positivity.
