About My Clients

I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals while welcoming anyone who has felt marginalized or misunderstood. My approach is trauma-informed, anti-racist, and affirming of kink/BDSM, sex work, and polyamory. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered.

My Background and Approach

My background is in social work, and my therapeutic approach integrates CBT, DBT, mindfulness, nonviolent communication, experience in domestic violence advocacy, and other evidence-based practices. Grounded in attachment theory and informed by narrative therapy, I take an eclectic, collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I approach our work together with curiosity, compassion, humility, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value curiosity, kindness, creativity, authenticity, and growth. While these values shape how I show up as a therapist, our work together is guided by *your* values, not mine. During our first few sessions, we'll explore what matters most to you and use those values to tailor our work, helping ensure that your goals and treatment align with the life you want to build.
