I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and families looking for more depth, creativity and satisfaction in their lives. I help my clients return home to themselves, access the power of their inner wisdom and recognize the unique and vital magic they bring to this world. My degree is in social work and I specialize in queer-affirming, trauma-informed therapy. I bring humor, warmth and curiosity to the therapeutic process. I am licensed in California, Massachusetts and Colorado and am able to see clients in all three states (I offer in person therapy in South Pasadena, CA).
As a queer clinician, I'm familiar with the reality that the systems we must navigate to survive not only erase our humanity but often traumatize those most in need of support and care. I work hard to understand what relational safety looks like for you in the wake of what you've experienced and to cultivate a loving space that can facilitate your growth
If you need help rewriting the narratives about yourself that limit you, reclaiming your dignity in a culture that feeds off of shame and punishment, and cultivating a sustainable, loving relationship with yourself, book a complimentary consultation and let's chat more!
