I am one of those therapists who genuinely loves their work. Getting to understand my clients and the hurdles they face is a privilege that I take seriously. If you are struggling to form and maintain healthy intimate relationships, overcome trauma, to coexist with and even manage anxiety and depression, to gain new approaches to coping with obsessive compulsive symptoms... well, these are just a few of the issues that we can work on together! We can navigate this journey as a team, collaborate on setting realistic goals, and then you can define what "progress" would look like in your eyes.

Therapy is a space where stories unfold and evolve. The stories we create about ourselves and our experiences shape how we understand our lives and the world around us. These stories can offer us comfort and strength, but at times, they may also bring distress or hold us back from living the life we desire. When we feel stuck in these limiting stories, we can feel hopeless. But together, we can explore these stories—how they’ve impacted you and what they mean. Through this process, we’ll work to shape new stories that reflect your values, strengths, and hopes for the future—your preferred stories.

Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected - from themselves, their bodies, their relationships, or their true desires. Often this disconnection stems from past trauma, anxiety, or the pressures of performance and perfectionism that weigh heavily on our systems. People bring me things they might not feel safe talking about with other providers or even friends, such as body image issues, erectile dysfunction, childhood abuse, and gender dysphoria. I specialize in working with queer, nonmonogamous, and kinky folks, though I'm happy to show up for anyone who is ready to nurture a deeper sense of connection in their lives.

Hello and welcome! I am glad you're here. Adjusting to the stressors that life is sending your way can feel like an isolating (and overwhelming) process. Sometimes it is hard to know what next steps to take. Sometimes it is scary to try new ways of being. Sometimes we get in our own way. And sometimes it is good to talk about these things with someone who is on your side.

As a queer woman who identifies as polyamorous, I can understand how we are often unprepared for the difficulties that arise when living in a mononormative society. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned consensually nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate your polyamorous relationship structure if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privlege.

Some people move through life feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or “out of body.” In my role, I hold space for them to process personal and/or intergenerational trauma so they can heal, connect with others, and live more freely. The people who resonate with my approach the most are soul searchers, creatives, and anyone looking to buck societal expectations. They might be exploring their sexuality, relationship with substances, or pieces of their identity they’ve been repressing. I also work with clients integrating experiences from meditation, breath work, psychedelic journeys, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness.

I have experience working with: LGBTQIA+, sex workers, body positive/HAES, neurodivergent, ADHD/ASD, ethical non-monogamy/polyamory, sex/ kink positive, Deaf, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing.
I view therapy as an opportunity to better understand yourself as a whole along with addressing concerns in your life. When we take time to explore how we act, think, and feel we are able to access new parts of ourselves and new perspectives on life. The process of therapy can be powerful. I can offer this opportunity for you to explore yourself & possible changes in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, & welcoming environment. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, which means YOU are the expert and we work together to offer you healing. I am happy to provide letters for gender affirming surgeries for Trans/GNC folx.

I'm passionate about working with folks of marginalized identities who seek a therapist with similar lived experience. My main areas of interest include gender identity, disability/illness, neuroemergence, perfectionism, dissociation, trauma, & sexuality & relationships (including non-monogamy, kink, & sex work). I enjoy supporting other therapists, caregivers, & academics/scholars. I'm also invested in serving folks living with Long COVID, Complex Chronic Disease, HIV, & Pentad Super Syndrome. Those who are drawn to working with me often identify as radicals, misfits, outsiders, & cycle breakers.

I also thoroughly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+, poly, and kink/BDSM communities.
I do my best work with clients who are curious about themselves, have a good sense of humor, and are often at a significant transition point in their lives. Clients most often begin working with me around issues related to trauma, anxiety, or relational wounding and are seeking new ways to relate to themselves, others, and the world around them. My overarching goal in my work with clients is to help them move through the world with a greater degree of consciousness, courage, and compassion - whatever that may mean or look in their lives.
