No matter where you've been or where you want to go, all of who you are is welcomed and celebrated here. I utilize a non-judgmental, trauma-informed approach where you can openly examine and tend to the parts of yourself that need a little extra care. I am a queer clinician and particularly enjoy working with those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community; I am a sex-positive practitioner and am kink and poly-affirming. I also have significant experience working with clients who are navigating life/spirituality after experiencing religious trauma.
You are the expert on your life; it's my job to facilitate and support your ever-evolving relationship with yourself and your communities. I provide a space infused with humor and compassion so that you can feel safe to share your joys, fears, successes, and challenges as we navigate this messy world together.
You are deserving of kindness and support, now and always. I look forward to supporting your journey as you seek to become the most authentic version of yourself!
