Limited sessions available! If you're looking to develop tools to regulate your emotions, communicate more effectively, and improve your connections with the people in your life, you've come to the right place! I work with clients who identify as queer, neurodivergent, kinky, and poly. I help clients learn to navigate relational dynamics through setting boundaries and navigating fear and insecurity. I also have experience with 12 step facilitation and substance use, to encourage vital personal growth. If you'd like to connect more within your relationships, and start making changes for yourself, reach out to get started with me!

I love working on emotions and communication with clients in various communities. I'm passionate about providing informed support and education, staying current on trainings and resources. My clients come to work on issues related to gender and sexuality, but also areas such as setting boundaries, communication, substance use, and 12-step programs.

Starting therapy can be intimidating. I create a humor-forward, warm, and safe environment for us to get to know each other. This is a place with no judgments, just two people having a collaborative conversation, working toward your goals. If you're looking to learn and grow as a person, text or email me to schedule an appointment!

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most positive predictor of a client's progress, so focusing on rapport is a key priority in session. I tailor my techniques to the individual so each person is able to receive the best care, created for them. I pull from DBT skills, CBT techniques, and mindfulness skills to support my clients in their growth and progress.
