Oct 2024: I am accepting new telehealth clients on a limited basis (Tues and Wed mornings/afternoons only). I'm a doctoral student therapist who is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and providing a safe and affirming space to navigate gender and sexuality-related concerns. I also work with adults and college students to provide support for anxiety, depression, trauma, body image, and coping with stress and life transitions. I am sex-positive, neurodiversity-affirming, and enjoy working with polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous and kink communities.
I aim to approach therapy through an anti-oppressive, intersectional lens. I value collaboration, goal-setting, and client feedback. I focus on spotlighting your unique strengths and interests to help you implement positive changes. I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and we'll work together to address your specific needs.
Besides being a therapist, I'm also a researcher, student, rescue dog mom, musician, gamer, antique collector, lover of spooky things, and general creative spirit. If you think I might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out. I can't wait to hear from you!

I work primarily from a client-focused lens, meaning I believe you are the expert on your own experience and you possess the inherent ability to make positive changes. I encourage you to take the lead in our work together, while simultaneously providing you guiding structure and prompts to work toward your goals.
