About My Clients

I believe you as the client are the expert on your own life. For this reason, I tend to work collaboratively with clients to make a plan and work towards your therapeutic goals together. I practice in an eclectic way drawing from different modalities to best suit my client's needs.

My Background and Approach

I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with Art Therapy from Antioch University. I also have a Certificate in Sex Therapy from Antioch University. I am available for therapy online and I am also available for in person walk and talks. I integrate a number of different therapeutic styles and modalities, depending on what best fits with the client and their goals for therapy. I am interested in holistic care and intersectionality. Some modalities I use include, Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Sex Therapy, Existential Therapy, Jungian, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, as well as some somatic approaches.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My goal is also to make my therapy sessions a brave space, as social justice work as well as antiracism are important to me. I myself identify as queer and neurodivergent and have worked with clients who identify in similar ways. My work is a trauma-informed. I am kink informed and I also specialize in working with polyamorous and non-monogamous folks.
