Some of my specialties include relationship and sex therapy; LGBTQIA, gender, and sexuality issues; exploration of ethical non-monogamy and BDSM/kink; identity development; mood disorders; shame and resilience; trauma; and survivors of assault and violence.
I help people explore how their relationships with self, other people, culture, and larger societal systems have shaped who they are and how they move through life. I provide an empowering and affirming space for my clients to explore their emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior. My ultimate goal is to help people heal, craft satisfying relationships, and create a life worth living. My clients can expect warmth, compassion, directness, and humor in our work together. I flexibly draw from relational cultural, feminist, dialectical behavioral, experiential, and emotion-focused approaches.

Often difficult life experiences leave a lasting mark on our ideas of ourselves. In the therapy room, I invite my clients to explore how parts of themselves have adapted to survive. Together we will befriend these parts and become familiar with your inner world, to better understand how trauma has impacted your mind, body, and view of the world. I am a gender queer, pansexual, latinx, therapist who specializes in working with women, queer, gender diverse, and polyamorous folks. I see clients age 15 and up, and love supporting late adolescence and young adulthood. My niche is childhood trauma, and emotional and sexual abuse.

I can help address childhood and relational trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ topics and building coping skills in a safe space that allows for growth and learning.
Are you feeling stuck or not listened to in your relationships? Are you finding yourself having the same arguments? Does it feel like you and your partner are speaking different languages? Or do you simply have a feeling that something isn’t working, that you’re disconnected from your partner or loved ones? Set yourself and your relationship up for success by engaging in relational therapy. Together we can understand why you’re both feeling stuck in your relationship and work to create new, healthier communication cycles. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy which helps ground and facilitate this process.

As a transgender, queer, and neurodivergent person myself, I am in this field to support you.
Let's decolonize mental health. Your well-being should not come at the expense of authenticity. No matter where you are in your life, the world can feel isolating and exhausting, especially when we do not fit neatly into narrow roles we are told are acceptable. Through connection and community, we develop the skills and language to describe our experiences. You get to define the terms of your own existence, you may already have the words or they could be difficult to find. Our therapeutic connection can provide a space for you to feel safe and supported in creating your space in the world.

I help other queer and neurodivergent folx live with anxiety, PTSD, grief, and interpersonal functioning issues. I’m a casual therapist who cusses, listens intently, initiates the hard conversations gently and directly, and offers the education and support you need to navigate and define your experience. A fundamental belief I hold as a therapist is that everyone is capable of change, but sometimes we don’t have the skills or support we need; I provide that support and care, giving you the space and freedom to explore who you are, who you want to be, and what you need to bring those two aspects of yourself into alignment.
