I believe that therapy can be a space of reclamation—of story, of identity, of agency. I work from a narrative therapy lens, grounded in the belief that our lives are shaped not only by personal experiences but also by the social, cultural, and political systems around us. My approach is collaborative, curious, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience and knowledge. My practice centers the voices and needs of LGBTQ+ clients, trans and nonbinary folks, people navigating trauma, and those impacted by systemic oppression. I also offer relationship therapy for couples and partnerships of all types and am sex worker allied.
While narrative therapy shapes everything I do, I am also trained in EMDR, a powerful tool for trauma processing. Whether we’re working with identity, trauma, grief, boundaries, or life transitions, I aim to create a space that honors your full self and supports your movement toward healing and possibility.
Therapy with me is not about fixing what's broken—it's about understanding the context of your pain, reclaiming your voice, and co-authoring new ways of being that align with your values. You're the expert on your life. I’m here to walk alongside you. Contact me today for a free consultation!
