Are you yearning to speak the unspeakable? Let's create a space where you feel safe enough to share your unpopular opinions and hot takes. I’ll sit with you and be a witness to your story, no matter how beautiful or terrible. I want to hear what’s taboo, subversive, and extraordinary. Through our work you’ll learn to embrace your whole self: messy, complex, and capable of growth no matter your past. How would your life change if you could hold your pain with compassion and curiosity, instead of resistance?
I help LGBTQ+ adults and couples connect with difficult emotions so they can tap into their deepest joys. Don't know what you need to have a satisfying sex life? Trying to rebuild a loving connection after years of disconnection? Struggling with uncomfortable or painful sex? In therapy, explore how to move towards what feels good in a safe, supportive space.
Queer, trans, and nonbinary folks to the front, please! Are y'all exhausted and stressed out from living in a world that demands too much and doesn’t offer enough time for rest and connection? I’m here to support your recovery and nurture your resilience because you deserve a fulfilling life that embodies your most ambitious hopes and dreams.

I work holistically, eclectically, and relationally. I like to tailor each session to the needs of each client so every session is different, but you can generally expect: my full attention, somatic practices, gentle challenges, and educational resources. I also offer trauma focused therapy that integrates narrative and somatic processing to help you learn how to feel safer in your body.
