I work well with individuals, couples+, and families who understand and appreciate therapy as a conversation. I connect with clients who march to the beat of their own drum- whether they always like it or not. And I find success with people who want to grow, who may suspect or recognize their tools for handling life aren’t working as well as they used to. I specialize in working with the queer community and those who, regardless of identity, seek support outside of a heteronormative structure. My goal is to empower clients from all walks of life.
Using humor and direct language, I take an integrative approach to my work, pulling from different theoretical modalities to tailor treatment. I have extensive, advanced training and experience in trauma recovery, sex therapy, and transgender affirmative care.
Moreover, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive space for anyone exploring kink/BDSM-positive care and those within the CNM and poly communities. The fastest way to reach me is by email. I look forward to connecting.

I take an innovative approach to therapy, drawing from my experiences in wilderness therapy and a strong systemic and relational orientation. I don't adhere to just one treatment theory, but instead, I integrate various approaches tailored to each client's needs. This allows me to create personalized, flexible treatment plans that consider all aspects of a client's life, fostering lasting change.
