I value all of the work I do, and all types of people are welcome in my space. I have an emphasis in practice working with people from marginalized/oppressed communities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQIA, people with disabilities to name a few), sex positivity, poly/open relationship orientations, grief/loss/transition, college student mental health, neurodiversity, white accountability, and earth-based spiritual traditions. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are new to and/or unsure if counseling is the best option for their well-being.
I consider it an honor to do the work of counseling, and my style is very collaborative– you have valuable wisdom and experience to share. A core element of my style is that our work should always feel safe while recognizing it might not always feel comfortable as we grow.
I believe in equity, justice, and honoring individuals, communities, and nature. The world is a big place. Our personal paths are often shaped by family, friends, community, institutions and experiences; sometimes it is these exact experiences that bring someone to counseling. I invite you to reach out to me to explore your goals, feelings, and experiences.

I am trained as a generalist while also having specialty training in sexual health and gender. I love working with a variety of concerns people bring to therapy and tend to describe my work as "anything you can imagine and things you would never even dream of." We are likely to focus on you, those around you, larger systems at play, and ways you feel empowered or want to feel empowered in life.
