I've worked with queer and non-traditional communities for a long time, personally and professionally. I work with LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, coming out, internalized shame, relationships, and the intersection of queerness and mental health. You won't need to translate yourself or educate me. I also work with people exploring non-traditional relationship structures, sexual empowerment, and what it means to build a life that actually fits who you are.

Relationship struggles rarely exist in isolation. They're usually connected to deeper patterns around attachment, communication, and how we learned to protect ourselves. I work with individuals and couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, intimacy issues, and the gap between who they want to be in relationships and how they actually show up. I have particular depth working with queer adults and people in ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship structures.

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people come to therapy, and one of the most treatable. I work with anxiety at two levels: building practical tools for real-time relief, including understanding your body's signals and interrupting spirals in the moment, and exploring the deeper patterns driving the anxiety in the first place. For OCD and perfectionism specifically, I integrate evidence-based skill building alongside depth-oriented work, because lasting change usually requires both.

Our earliest relationships shape how we connect, protect ourselves, and ask for what we need, often in ways we don't fully see. Attachment-based therapy helps you understand those patterns and begin to shift them. This approach is particularly powerful for people navigating recurring relationship dynamics, intimacy struggles, and the gap between how they want to show up with others and how they actually do.

CBT gives us practical, evidence-based tools for interrupting unhelpful thought patterns and changing behavior in real time. For anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism especially, this means learning to recognize the cycles driving your distress and developing concrete skills to work with them differently. I use CBT not as a rigid protocol but as a flexible toolkit, integrated with deeper relational work when that's what's needed.

The body holds what the mind can't always access. Somatic therapy helps you tune into physical signals, tension, constriction, activation, and use them as information rather than noise. I help clients develop body awareness as a practical skill for real-time relief and as a doorway into deeper emotional patterns. This approach is especially useful for anxiety, trauma, and anyone who has spent a lot of time living from the neck up.
