I work with individuals and partners in poly, open, and ethical non-monogamous relationships, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore communication, boundaries, jealousy, trust, and relationship agreements. My approach is sex-positive and affirming of diverse relationship structures, supporting clients in creating connections that align with their values, needs, and identities.

I provide identity, expression-affirming therapy for trans, non binary, and many more non-cis folks across the lifespan. Therapy can be a space to explore identity, navigate dysphoria or minority stress, process coming out, and build self-trust and resilience in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes diverse experiences.

I support individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges such as communication difficulties, conflict, trust, boundaries, heartbreak, and life transitions. My work is relational and collaborative, helping clients better understand patterns shaped by attachment, identity, and past experiences so they can build more authentic, fulfilling connections- with others and with themselves.

I use ACT to support LGBTQPIA2S+ clients in navigating anxiety, shame, identity exploration, and the impact of living in systems that weren’t built with you in mind. Rather than trying to “fix” thoughts or feelings that often arise from minority stress, we work on building self-compassion, flexibility, and clarity around your values. This approach supports you in making choices that feel authentic and aligned, even in the presence of discomfort or uncertainty.

Brainspotting is a body-based, trauma-informed approach that can be especially supportive for LGBTQPIA2S+ clients whose experiences of stress, discrimination, or relational harm may be held in the nervous system. This method allows us to gently access and process experiences that may be difficult to put into words, at a pace that feels safe and respectful. Brainspotting honors the body’s wisdom and supports healing that centers consent, agency, and regulation.

My Rogerian approach emphasizes deep empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, particularly for LGBTQ+ clients who may have experienced misunderstanding, invalidation, or rejection. I strive to create a space where all aspects of your identity are welcomed and affirmed. Through collaborative exploration and attuned listening, therapy becomes a place to reconnect with your own voice, build self-trust, and move toward growth on your own terms.
