Looking for a therapist that can challenge you while holding space for compassion and complexity? We may be a good fit! I come to counseling with a background in the arts, nonprofit, and service sectors; experience that shapes how I authentically show up with clients. I am deeply committed to working with individuals and relationships within the LGBTQ+ community, trans and nonbinary folks, creatives, people in nontraditional relationship structures, and those exploring kink and pleasure in many forms. I believe that everyone seeks pleasure and creativity, and tapping into these parts is a way to find meaning in our lives.
I support clients navigating recent or historical trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, relational challenges, and mood-related concerns. I find working with complex trauma to be extremely rewarding, and compassionately challenge my clients to move through avoidance and into engagement with difficult emotions and experiences at their own pace.
Trust, safety, and mutual respect are are the heart of my work with clients. Once we have that foundation, you'll find that I'm collaborative, direct, and unabashedly myself. I see it as my job to be a passionate advocate for your autonomy and growth throughout our work together. Plus, I promise I'll make your laugh from time to time.

I enthusiastically support diverse sexual and relational practices and believe these practices can open doors to explore and challenge the self. Trauma work is also central to my practice. I truly believe that in collaboration with my clients we can develop feelings of safety, while we identify, confront, and heal past trauma.

Drawing from systemic, queer, and intersectional feminist theory helps me to recognize how power, privilege, and inequity impact my clients. My work is grounded in the understanding that each person's experience and behavior is shaped by a complex web of external forces, relationships, and cultural contexts.
