About My Clients

I am specifically looking to work with families, couples, and individuals dealing with relational, intimacy, and sexual concerns. I have a keen interest in working with individuals dealing with grief and loss, stress and anxiety, and addiction and recovery. I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA community and specifically couples work. I appreciate all forms of coupling and partnerships. I am kink-friendly.

My Background and Approach

I am mindful and direct in my therapeutic approach. My approach to growth and healing is collaborative as each individual comes with unique experiences, beliefs, values, and needs. I am intentional in my use of humor and even irreverence as I find both to be powerful ways to gain perspective and relief. All humans deserve someone who can sit alongside them—without judgment—and feel seen, valued, accepted, and accountable. And while we all carry judgment, the greatest antidote to judgment is compassion, connection, and empathy. I am particularly interested in trauma work and the impact that shame and fear has on our development and overall sense of self. I acknowledge and honor that trauma exists on a spectrum. I have worked with people who have experienced (or are experiencing) interpersonal violence, sexual violence, chemical addiction, stress and anxiety, and life transitions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about social justice issues and the intersection of identities within systems of oppression and privilege. I am consistently curious about the complex systems that influence how we develop, adapt, and interact as individuals and as communities—whether personal, cultural, political, spiritual, or professional. I believe that every human is resilient. I am passionate about discovering and/or nurturing that resilience in a way that feels authentic and useful to the person I work alongside. I have a keen interest in holistic, integrative health and relational wellness. I love to cultivate curiosity, joy, and well-being. I have a daily meditation practice and a very close relationship with nature. Understanding a person's origins, connecting that to where they are, and further developing to where they want to be is paramount to my work as a relational therapist. It takes courage to navigate your boundaries and I will welcome that courage with compassion and grit.
