I have a broad range of experience with individual therapy, with personal and professional experience addressing the needs of those who are queer, trans, polyamorous, or kinky. I offer knowledgeable and affirming practice to a spectrum of folks who may struggle to find the “right fit” with their therapist. I’m committed to working with individuals within LGBTQ+ communities, particularly those who are gender expansive; other areas of focus include depression and anxiety, mood disorders, life transitions, intergenerational and complex trauma, mental health in the workplace, sexuality and health, and identity development.
My role is to help you find your voice and make meaning of your experiences in ways that help you create future growth. With a calm and affirming therapeutic presence. I can help you access your self-knowledge, appreciate your own strengths, identify the change you want to achieve, and then help you develop skills to bring you closer to that goal.
My therapeutic style is client-led with a focus on the relationships that make up all parts of your life. I’m dedicated to a social justice framework, and work to honor all aspects of your identities. More than anything else, I appreciate the trust that you place in me when giving me the opportunity to listen to your story.
