About My Clients

I have a special passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community, the kink community, and consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous community. I have experience working with a wide range of cultural, racial, economic/class and educational backgrounds. Curious by nature, I seek to listen to and fully understand you each step of the way, working toward greater self-acceptance.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and other relationship structures on relationship issues. Trained in family systems, narrative therapy, structural family therapy, emotionally-focused therapy and solution-focused therapy among others, I understand how dominant cultural, political and family narratives can keep us feeling stuck. I have specialized training and experience in helping you have more fulfilling intimate relationships. You may be struggling with feeling lonely, dependent on others or "too needy" in relationships, or perhaps feeling cold or inadequate in relationships. You may wonder why relationships seem to disappoint you the same ways again and again, or why you attract or are attracted to a particular type of person who does not seem to be good for you. Perhaps you are navigating relationship conflict, loss of intimacy/connection, a breach of trust, sexual difficulties, or a family transition. I can help find opportunities for growth and healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in providing accessible mental health and relationship therapy to the LGBT+ community, BIPOC, and folks who have encountered a variety of socioeconomic barriers to therapy. I also believe that finding a therapist who is a good fit for you is crucial to making progress and getting what you deserve out of therapy. Please contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to see if I seem like a good fit for your personality and needs. You deserve to get the competent, compassionate healthcare you need.
