As a queer, intersectional therapist, I specialize in helping clients navigate sexual and intimacy concerns, relational conflicts, societal pressures, identity development, and life transitions. I offer a hands-on, expressive, and explorative approach for individuals and couples, focusing on communication, connection, and self-discovery. Whether you're part of the LGBTQIA+ or kink community or facing unique relationship dynamics, my goal is to provide a safe space where you can feel both challenged and validated.
In our work, we’ll dive into relational patterns and communication, emphasizing how you show up in your relationships. Using humor, playfulness, and curiosity, I encourage you to explore and embrace your imperfections. I’ll be there to gently challenge and support you in deepening your connection with yourself and others.
I promise to bring my authentic, imperfect self into our sessions! My approach is creative, experiential, and collaborative, focusing on fostering emotional expression, connection, and meaning-making. I’m inquisitive and direct, always encouraging growth while providing a validating and supportive space for you to explore who you are and where you belong.
