My practice focuses on sense of self, sexuality, meaning and meaninglessness, and the impact of trauma. I sincerely enjoy working with individuals navigating these realities. I specialize in identity, sexuality as an existential expression, and existential distress, and am committed to supporting people confronting the isolation in uncertainty as well as understanding the uncertainty itself. I am also drawn to working at the intersections of intimacy, identity, and belonging, particularly when these vital expressions of selfhood include queerness, nontraditional relationships, or kink.
I believe people move through the world in ways that make sense to them. In therapy, I explore unconscious patterns that emerge in relationships with self and others, and how people interpret or give meaning to their stories.
I aim to co-create a therapeutic space marked the coexistence of curiosity and safety, making room for a more meaningful life. I draw from existential, psychodynamic, relational, and evolutionary frameworks. Therapy with me is less about technique and more about encounter — direct, curious, and with a bit of humor.
