As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am dedicated to helping my peers and allies rise from the destructive forces of stigma and oppression. Using strengths-based and person-centered foundations, I believe that you are beautiful and powerful at your core. I use various methodologies within an intersubjective relational framework and from a postmodern perspective (you are the expert of your own life; I am merely a vehicle for you to explore). I am a Feminist and a Jungian-influenced therapist who honors the multidimensional ‘beyond’ and in-between the divine feminine and masculine.
A life of journeying has brought me here, with an intense focus on the creative drive. Having spent a decade pursuing my passion as an artist, I explored many rabbit holes, not least significant of them leading me to this current manifestation as a LGBTQ+-Affirming Relational Therapist (MFT-A).
I have danced with the light, the dark, and the spectrum of color. Now I’d like to help you along your journey.
