"I have found, through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is always the next one.” -Brandon Sanderson Let me help you take the next step. I enjoy providing therapy for queer folx, chronic illness, nerds, adolescents, young adults, college students, and families. I have special interests in all things nerdy, sex, trauma, and exploring identities (gender, sexuality). I primarily work from a feminist, anti-capitalist, and strength-based perspective. My ideal client wants a strong therapeutic relationship with an affirming and relatable therapist.
I have experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families. I love working with identity exploration (sexuality, gender, life transitions) and trauma. I love doing parts work and helping you accept your full self. I do EMDR and work from a trauma focused, anti-capitalist lens. Plus, I'm a big nerd who will geek out with you.
As Uncle Iroh once said, “Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving you will come to a better place.” I can help you find that better place.
