About My Clients

You can’t believe the thoughts and fantasies you’re having, or that you’re questioning your sexuality at this stage of life. “Why now? What does this mean?!” You’ve tried to push it away, but the longing keeps growing stronger. You're distracted at work and distant with your spouse. You feel an enticing pull in one moment, and sheer panic the next. Is your whole life about to crumble around you? It may be time to face the truth, but you have no F-ing idea how to proceed.

How I Can Help You

I know this is scary, but I got you. Discovering your sexuality does not have to be a catastrophe. Together, we can explore this in a gentle and realistic way. We’ll dispel the myths, connect with your body, and discover what’s actually true for you. Then we'll figure out how to integrate this into your life and relationships in whatever way YOU want. Whatever the outcome, this is a journey into your authentic self that is worthy of attention and guidance. I’ve been there. I know this territory well, and I can help you sort through the tangled threads. It is possible to find confidence and joy on the other side! Somatic (body-centered) and dance/movement therapy is a unique approach where your physical sensations, nervous system responses, movement patterns, and creative expression will be central to our process. You will learn to turn inward for guidance, ground yourself through the parts that feel overwhelming, and make decisions that are truly aligned with your desires and needs.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I’m a queer, neurodivergent somatic and dance therapist on a mission to help people feel good in their bodies. People tend to describe me as both fiery and grounded. I love people, weird art, and loud music. My approach is anti-oppressive, including awareness of your identities and the larger social context that shapes us all. I specialize in helping adults explore their sexuality, gender, and queerness because I know how core these experiences are to our wellness, wholeness, and connection to a meaningful life. Connecting with our body’s authenticity is our deepest personal journey, and I wholeheartedly believe that living in our truth makes us better people who can then have a brilliant positive impact on the world. Movement and embodiment have been integral to my own process of discovering and living my queerness. Learning how to sense, listen, move with, and express what I feel inside has transformed my life. Let me show you how to do this too.
