I provide telehealth therapy to women, trans, non-binary, and gender diverse/non-conforming clients ages 18+ and will support you in exploring your identity, values, and/or relational patterns, as well as working to manage anxiety, depression, or navigating life changes. I specialize in working with members of the queer community, as well as those who practice "alternative" sexualities including ethical non-monogamy, kink, and BDSM relationships.
Using a mix of Feminist Therapy, Queer Theory, Sex Positivity, and Taylor Swift lyrics, we'll work together to merge your values with your actions to build a life you love. My certifications in Gender and Women's Studies and as a Sex Positive Professional from the Center for Positive Sexuality inform my practice on an individual & systems level.
As a queer and atheist individual in Utah, I relate to experiences of marginalization while also recognizing the privilege I hold. I will be a good fit if you're looking for a therapist who incorporates progressive values into therapeutic work.
