About My Clients

Do you feel lost and alone as you fight the same, seemingly endless battles with your partner(s), children, or maybe even yourself? It probably feels like you have tried everything just to end up worse off than you started. You don't have to power through alone! I believe that together we can find that missing link in the connection. I am passionate about building up nurturing, holistic relationships and families in the LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, non-monogamous and BIPOC community.

My Background and Approach

As a systemic, relational therapist it is my goal to provide an authentic, nurturing space for you and your partner(s) or family to explore the dynamics that have been affecting you. I specialize in using attachment-based, solution-focused and somatic therapy techniques to provide safety, insight and new skills to those trying to navigate complex or changing relationship dynamics. I also like to bring the full range of emotions to our therapeutic space, so with me you can look forward to candor, humor, and the occasional hard truth served with empathy—not a lecture in disguise. My commitment to intersectional, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming care has also led me to eschew the standard session time. To support deeper processing and results I exclusively offer extended sessions of 75 minutes for individuals and 90 minutes for couples, polycules, & families.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe at my core how you relate to self, others, the world and spirit, is what truly matters, no matter how it is labeled. As a therapist who strives for cultural competence, you will receive therapy rooted in evidence-based methods but tailored to see how the world and culture you live in affects you, because that matters!
