My warm approach emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure, self-compassion, and is rooted in mindfulness. I'm affirming of all identities, relationship structures, and am kink-aware. I commonly work topics such as relieving minority stress and resilience.

I practice psychodynamic therapy. My approach is warm, non-directive, non-judgmental, and holistic, as it welcomes you as a whole, including your history, your background, your personality, and your embodied experience.
Work together to explore difficulties that you are experiencing in relationships - not only with your partner, family, or friends - but also yourself! My goal is to create a safe space for you to move towards authenticity and self-acceptance.
