I am a queer therapist in private practice in Taos, NM. I offer in person and telehealth appointments for folx throughout the state. I have experience offering support for individuals who identify on the queer spectrum of sexual/relational identity. I am sex/body positive and promote safety, wellness, and freedom of expression in all aspects of self and relationships. I have additional areas of clinical experience that inform my therapeutic approach (EMDR, Infant Mental Health/Attachment, Child Parent Psychotherapy). I do not provide couples therapy at this time except as it relates to child/parent support.
My practices are informed by experience in areas of complex trauma, advocacy for social justice within systems, and understanding the impact of intersectional identities and systemic oppression on health and wellness.
At present, I have limited appointment availability. Please email for details.
