About My Clients

Are you a LGBTQIA+ person living in a rural area or a smaller community of California? Are you seeking a clinician who understands the differences between the experiences of being a LGBTQ person in a rural area vs. a large city? Are you seeking to better understand yourself, your identity, and explore the roots of what you are experiencing?

My Background and Approach

I am very Person Centered in my approach to therapy. I believe clients are the experts on their lives, and I am just a witness to their journey. I approach my work with my clients from a trauma informed lens and am committed to unconditional positive regard to those I work with. I know that your identity should not be pathologized. I support my clients in their choices and beliefs because I believe that there is no one “right” way to live your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all humans deserve love and respect, and I bring that belief to every session, with every client. I am a queer ethically non monogamous therapist from an Ashkenazi background who has been on my own personal journey of healing which allows me to understand the importance of finding the right therapist to accompany you on your own journey.
