I am a queer non-binary transmasc therapist whose goal is that, with me, you can feel safe and honored. Feeling comfortable sharing may not feel easy or immediate, so I aim to stay present, mindful and non-judgmental, so that you can be at ease to bring your full self to our sessions. My therapeutic style is relational, allowing freedom of expression to occur in our dynamic. I value the way the mind and body are intricately connected and inform our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am guided by therapeutic modalities such as DBT, somatic experiencing, internal family systems and polyvagal theories.
I am trauma focused and aware of the way trauma can become stuck in our nervous systems responses. I want to help support you in creating satisfying change, so that you feel connected and engaged in your life. I have 20 yrs experience in the field of mental health and 10 yrs experience as a clinician.
I have significant experience working with queer/LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, people who are HIV+, survivors of religious trauma, sex workers, mental health crises, developmental trauma and people diagnosed with personality disorders. I will do my best to honor your specific life experience and the strength you have as your life's narrator.
