About My Clients

I have a strong clinical focus on adults experiencing relationship issues and sexual health challenges. My approach to therapy is integrative and person-centered, and I genuinely enjoy working collaboratively to promote safety and curiosity in sessions. I have a particular interest in working with individuals in academia as well as with other therapists.

My Background and Approach

People I typically work with are experiencing life circumstances related to sexual health, their exploration of gender and sexuality, or some flavor of relationship concerns. I'm kink and BDSM positive, sex work/er +, and am experienced in working with poly+/ENM/open relationship constellations. Folx that work best with me engage in a non-judgemental, direct, affirming approach to therapy. I am a white queer person living with privileged and marginalized identities, and I strive to continue my learning and support clients in doing the same.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that human connection fosters growth. I use Attachment Theory to inform my practice which allows us to recognize how crucial human connection is to our overall sense of self and well-being. I don't believe that humans reach a point of stagnation; where there is willingness and vulnerability, we can cultivate change. Through my own therapy, I learned how to integrate curiosity and kindness towards myself and people in my life, and now as a therapist, I can reflect on how I was able to do that: with non-judgementalness, plenty of mistakes and tears, and with a therapist who would constantly meet me at their door with loving kindness. I strive to evoke those same feelings of sanctuary and exploration with each of my clients. If you would like to learn what it means to be seen as the expert, to be held completely in all of your chaos and complexities, and to learn more about value-congruent options you have towards living your best life, I encourage you to reach out to me.
