I work primarily with LGBTQ+ and polyamorous clients and provide a trauma-informed approach to relationship and identity exploration.

I take a holistic approach that acknowledges how unjust social structures impact us as individuals, and hope to celebrate how your strengths and skills have helped you navigate these challenges. You are the expert on your experiences and on what healing means to you; I see my role as helping you to identify and connect with the skills you already have, as well as helping you to explore and adapt to difficulties. As a queer, trans, and polyamorous person myself, I recognize how important it is to feel that you can be your most entire and authentic self in therapy. In line with that, I take an approach that centers personal narratives and emphasizes the power of perspective, identity, and storytelling. I also recognize the importance of relationships, and work to help my clients engage with the people around them in value-aligned, affirming ways. Additionally, I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for treatment of OCD.
