I offer a kind and direct presence to help individuals and couples work through potentially unhelpful or ineffective feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I help clients experience more joy in their life and feel more capable. In session, I bring a combination of humor, authenticity, and radical relating to support you in making decisions more aligned with the kind of life you wish to lead. My ideal clients are ones open to self-exploration and discovery, interested in working on patterns of shame and codependency, and willing to work toward change.
A naturally curious person, I’m excited to work with people who want to challenge norms and explore new possibilities for themselves while also learning to practice radical acceptance. I focus my practice on the LGBTQIA / kink+ / sex+ communities who are curious to explore their identities, relationship structures, orientations, and more.
Together, we can help you identify your wants and needs, learn to set appropriate boundaries, and take action toward living a life that you find more meaningful and worthwhile. If something I mentioned resonates for you (and you’re OK with a cat occasionally crashing the therapy session), please feel free to reach out to see how we could work together!
