Our life is a story constantly written, with characters coming and going. In therapy, we will map your story, whether it is your individual story, relationship, or family story. We will work together to make “the problems” characters instead of part of your or a loved one's character so we can kick the “problem” out of your story.

Sharing our life with someone else can be magical and exciting, but it can also be challenging. During relationship counseling, I will work with all parties to give voice and empower them to share their truth respectfully and productively.

Sex therapy informs the work that I do by bringing the focus back to communication and the body. How we interact with other people and how our bodies feel can tell us so much about ourselves and those around us. In the therapy room we can increase our knowledge, improve our communication and connect with our bodies in ways that are helpful in and out of the bedroom.

Since I was 14, advocacy work for the community has been a passion of mine as I am also a part of the community. I practice queer-informed narrative therapy. Together, we will focus on creating a chosen family, coming out to those in your life, and the impact of oppression within the community. We will explore how your gender identity and sexuality impact your relationships while identifying safe individuals that enable you to flourish as your authentic self.

As someone who is Non-binary, I GET how difficult it can be to fall outside society’s binary expectations. The oppression and microaggressions experienced within the community create barriers to finding support that provides a sense of safety. As a graduate student, I recognized the community's lack of support, which led me to create a free clinic for Gender Non-conforming individuals. I aim to provide a supportive, safe place to explore your identity and live authentically.

I enjoy working with individuals and their partner(s) to create relationships that work for all parties. I empower my clients to set up the parameters that best suit their individual and relational needs. My approach is to move at your pace and provide the respect and care needed, as these conversations often are uncomfortable. Whether this process is new or you’re a seasoned pro at polyamorous/ open relationships, we can help smooth out any roadblocks preventing thriving relationships.
