About My Clients
I am passionate about working with queer and trans people, polyamorous individuals and relationships, kink and BDSM communities, and folks living life outside the traditions they were raised in. I enjoy working with people who are experiencing shame around stigmatizing topics, exploring gender and sexuality, struggling with sexual concerns, navigating alternative relationships and family structures, living with anxiety and depression, and healing from diet culture and disordered eating.
My Background and Approach
My approach to working together is compassionate and warm while also challenging you to grow and make peace with uncomfortable emotions. I draw from principles of Psychodynamic Therapy, Relational-Cultural Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, and Health at Every Size and practice from a trauma-informed perspective and feminist lens. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Johnson & Wales University and am currently studying clinical social work at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked in nonprofit administration and in adult sex education. The latter taught me so much about the significance of our relationships with our own bodies and sexualities and about the power of healing from shame.
