About My Clients
I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy with teens, adults, and couples/relationship partners who are exploring their sexuality, gender, and relationship-expansive (kink, poly, CNM) identities. I love working with couples/relationship partners, and as a queer parent, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ people navigating parenthood. Many people I have experience working with express themselves creatively through art, dance, music, and writing.
My Background and Approach
Trained in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy as a level 1 practitioner and externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I received my master's in clinical psychology from Antioch University LA, specializing in LGBTQIA affirmative psychology. I approach therapy through a relational, psychodynamic lens that integrates feminist, narrative, and somatic therapies. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to open ourselves up in our relationships, including therapy, and I am committed to meeting my clients with curiosity, connection, and warmth.
My Values as a Therapist
Your healing is important and we all need to feel seen, heard, and understood. I strive to co-create an attuned, safe space and our collaboration will center around your sense of meaningfulness, hopes, and intersectional identities. When we allow the unfolding of emotional experiences, it can lead us to the emergence of a deeper understanding of yourself, embodied presence, and connecting to the power and participation you have in relationships.
