My website

As a systems therapist, I consider the many contexts that make each person’s experience unique and tailor treatment to my client’s needs. I center my work on re-authoring narratives and creating new meanings. If you're curious about the messages your emotions send and are willing to uncover patterns and explore new ways of connecting, I may be the therapist you're looking for. I specialize in strengthening relationships, especially multicultural, neurodiverse/mixed neuro-type, LGBTQI+, and open ones, as well as intimacy, desire discrepancy, life transitions, identity formation/exploration, attachment ruptures, and differentiation.

I strive to provide social justice-oriented, trauma-informed, body & sex-positive, LGBTQ+, kink, poly, and culturally affirming psychotherapy. I practice from a curiosity-based, person-centered, strengths-focused, and collaborative framework. I aim to cultivate a safe, nonjudgmental, nurturing, and empowering space where you feel held, heard, and understood.

My clients describe me as approachable, direct, transparent, and resourceful. I believe you are the expert on your life. My priority is to support you in creating positive changes at your own pace. It is my honor to witness your healing story and support you on your transformational journey. You are welcome to connect with me, and I cannot wait to meet you!
