I work with folks who identify :anywhere: on the gender and sexuality spectrum and am kink, sw, and pleasure & sex-positive. We'll be a good fit if you are struggling with dating anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, lack of sexual desire, sexuality exploration, and PTSD & trauma. I am dedicated to helping my clients build more robust, fulfilling relationships, heal from traumatic experiences, and connect to what brings them pleasure and calm. I have many years of experience as an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, sex educator, as well as an advocate for tgnc kids and teens at community-based organizations and school-based clinics.
I am a trauma-sensitive, relational psychotherapist who uses an integrated approach grounded in Somatics, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and attachment-based therapies. I am a trained sex therapist who uses relaxation and mindfulness exercises to reduce anxiety, enhance presence, and improve sexual experiences alone and in relationships with others.
I believe that you are the expert in your own life and my role is to support you in seeking solutions to your unique struggles. Together, let's honor your multitudes and make space for your parts to feel held, valued, & cared for.
