I work with individuals and couples navigating grief, identity exploration, relationship changes, and overall self improvement. Many of my clients are LGBTQIA+, kinky, non-monogamous, sex workers, or exploring relationships beyond the traditional mold. I help clients recognize their strengths, better understand themselves, and build lives and relationships that feel authentically theirs.
Together, we can move through grief, strengthen communication and intimacy, and better understand the patterns shaping your life and relationships. Sessions blend warmth, curiosity, practical tools, and honest reflection. I’ll center your goals while supporting you in feeling more grounded, connected, and confident.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re still trying to find the words for what you’re going through. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we begin. If you’re looking for a space where you can bring your full, complicated, wonderfully human self, I’d be glad to hear from you.
