I believe that the power of therapy is driven by the forging of a genuine connection between client and therapist, and that healing happens in collaboration. I also believe that the ways in which we are socialized has a profound impact on how we show up in the world and our relationships with others. Change and growth are often rooted in understanding and unpacking that process. My style is active, compassionate and direct. I work primarily from an intersectional feminist, contextual approach and am devoted to relational justice in the therapy room and beyond.
In my relational work I aim to help clients create relational equity where each person can feel heard, understood and known. Rooted in the belief that intimacy is an integral part of relationships I am committed to creating an affirming and supportive space of those connections whether that is sex positive or sex neutral.
I am particularly passionate about working with historically marginalized clients, such as LGBTQIA+ adults and youth, and those navigating wider identity issues. I offer collaborative, trauma-informed care rooted in honoring client autonomy and prioritizing safety and connection.
