Are you looking to strengthen your boundaries in your relationships — or trying to figure out what your boundaries even are? Do you find yourself caught in patterns of people-pleasing while losing touch with your own needs? I’m a psychodynamically and trauma-informed therapist, trained in CBT, EFT, and IFS. My approach is both direct yet encouraging. I help clients build confidence in their identities, strengthen communication and relationship skills, and explore patterns around abandonment and self image. I am queer-affirming, sex and kink-positive, sex work-allied, and welcoming of non-traditional relationship structures.

I also offer support for creative, curious men who are looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and with others, including those who are exploring their bisexuality. I have extensive experience helping men to turn inward, examine shame related to gender roles and expectations, and cultivate new, more fulfilling ways of being.

I believe intimacy and joy are essential to personal and collective wellness, and I bring a pleasure-affirming lens to my practice. I also honor the wisdom of the body and intuition, often integrating somatic/mindfulness techniques. If you’re curious to connect with me, please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation call and we can take it from there!
