About My Clients

I primarily work with clients who are navigating issues of gender and or sexual identity exploration and development, individuals and couples experiencing desire discrepancy or wanting to build more intimacy in their relationships, people who are processing grief, and family and partners supporting their trans/non-binary loved ones in their transitions.

My Background and Approach

I approach therapy from an anti-oppressive, trauma informed framework and my practice is grounded in psycho-dynamic, attachment, and relational cultural theories. I incorporate different modalities of expression and healing in my work including mindfulness techniques, art, music, and even pop culture. I have training in comprehensive, lifespan sexuality education, as well as in queer/trans and poly/ENM affirming therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that our relationships and connections with others are at the heart of our well-being. Utilizing empathetic validation and reflection, I collaborate with clients to strengthen their connection to themselves and others. One of my primary goals is to hold a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to explore and express their feelings, and to also embrace the power of sitting together in silence.
