About My Clients

I work with adults and adolescents who want support in better understanding themselves and moving toward a more grounded, authentic version of who they are. I am proud to offer an LGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-racist, and ethical non-monogamy–affirming practice. In my clinical work, I strive to create a welcoming, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel seen and respected as they are.

My Background and Approach

My approach is relational and client-centered, with an emphasis on tailoring therapy to each person’s unique hopes, needs, and goals. I am deeply committed to trauma-informed care and hold space for both individual lived experiences and the impacts of intergenerational trauma.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I aim to meet clients where they are—working together at a pace that feels right for you. I am a queer clinician, and recognize the importance of having a clinician who is a member of a community you are a part of. I have worked with the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community for years, and it is important to me to provide a safe and supportive space for all. I also have experiencing working with ENM and the kink community.
