Hello! Thanks for taking the time to check out my page; I know searching for a therapist can be overwhelming. None of us were given an instruction manual for figuring out how to navigate life and its challenges and surprises, but I often see therapy as a space where you can start to build your own cheat sheets and figure out what works for you. Helping individuals and relationships apply their unique blend of strengths and values to achieve their goals in an affirming, collaborative, casual environment is what I excel at. I use curiosity, humor, and therapeutic skills to tailor therapy to your life, values, and culture.
As a therapist, I try to strike a balance between giving you space to process and explore while helping you identify actions you could take or skills you can strengthen between sessions. I embrace a Health at Every Size perspective and am body, sex/sex worker, ethical non-monogamy and kink positive.
Sometimes starting therapy can be difficult. Maybe you’ve had bad experiences in the past or you’ve never tried therapy before and aren’t sure what to expect. My goal is to meet you with warmth and view you as the expert of your experience so that you feel seen and heard while you explore challenging experiences. Let’s get started!
