Are you someone who feels alone or like others may not fully understand your pain or experience? Are you feeling like an outcast or like you aren’t seen or heard? Are you a couple or polycule finding it difficult to communicate big feelings? Whether you're wrestling with identity, feeling isolated in your journey of self-discovery, or working through challenges in your relationships, I offer support for individuals and couples/polycules seeking to rebuild trust, intimacy, and emotional connection in a world that often feels at odds with your true self.
I’m a nonbinary, queer psychotherapist and sex therapist now offering virtual sessions. With a Bachelors in Dance and Finance from Otterbein University and a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from NYU, my diverse background—including work as an entertainer and performer—deepens my understanding of identity and body awareness.
My clients appreciate directness and accountability, and can expect to develop a robust toolbox for emotional regulation, learning to manage stress and somatic symptoms. Our sessions will be affirming and collaborative—focused entirely on your unique needs and goals. I’m committed to helping you unlock your potential for growth.

Our work will be based in narrative and psychodynamic techniques while bringing in other modalities as they fit. Therapy is centered on you (or the relationship) and the societal and familial systems that impact you. Together, we explore the stories you are holding, examine how they impact you holistically (mind and body), and then create new stories that feel true and fulfilling to you.
