About My Clients

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and non-monogamous individuals. I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship challenges.

My Background and Approach

I am a certified Life Coach and AMFT, about to take my licensure exam. I graduated with my Master's of Psychotherapy from Antioch University in 2023. I work humanistically and relationally, taking into account the individual human being I am supporting and working collaboratively with them on their treatment. I do not believe every client needs a diagnosis, as the medical model of psychotherapy can often be oppressive and stigmatizing. However, diagnosis and an understanding of it can help some clients, so we come to that decision together. I have training in trauma-informed care, queer affirmative therapy, somatic experiencing, inner child work, and ketamine-assisted therapy integration.
