About My Clients

I enjoy working with individuals and couples from all walks of life. Those who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, kinky, and/or polyamorous, I welcome you. Sex workers, past and present, I hold you all with special tenderness and personally invite you to reach out. Neurodivergent folks, "people pleasers," those who are grieving, and those needing support processing trauma - I'm here and ready to help. One thing I can assure you - I provide a therapy space free of judgement and shame. You are safe with me.

My Background and Approach

I work from a Somatic, Humanistic, attachment based, relational approach which is client centered, and strengths-based. Once I know my client well, I draw on interventions from other theories that I think will be helpful to them. I am certified in Brainspotting and often incorporate this powerful modality into sessions to support my clients in processing trauma and painful "stuck" memories when talking about it just isn't providing relief. My style of therapy is warm, collaborative, and connective. Based on your needs, my approach can be gentle and patient, or focused and goal driven. Either way, we will move at a pace that feels comfortable to you while encouraging you to be curious, brave, and willing to explore.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My personal values of living a liberation focused life greatly inform my practice. I am queer, intentionally anti-racist, Eco conscious, Covid aware (in 2026!), left of liberal, (inclusive) feminist, and a fierce supporter of sex workers.
