I approach therapy through a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and harm reduction lens and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. I view the clinical relationship as a tool for healing.
With a special emphasis on the impacts of oppression, I help clients of diverse identities understand themselves better and learn to tackle new challenges with confidence.

My approach is both direct and caring, with a touch of humor to keep our conversations relaxed and engaging. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported, without taking things too seriously.
Whether you’re wanting to embrace your authentic self more fully, explore new ways to affirm and care for your queer/trans-ness, heal internalized trans/homophobia, or simply just want to be “seen” in your identities by a therapist, I’m here for you.

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.
Our work may include a focus on how to build resilience by developing coping skills, processing current/past trauma, learning to manage and relieve uncertainty about the unknown, and letting go of those old narratives that no longer serve you.

I like to use stories about others' experience, or even my own, to relate to what we're trying to describe or process. I don't mind self disclosing if I know it can help you. I prefer a shared and connected experience. No hierarchy.
