About Me:

  • My clients describe me as:

    I’m pleasure-centered and strengths-focused. Passionate about helping queer and trans folks unlearn values of cishet culture and embrace self-kindness

  • Something to know about my approach is:

    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.

  • Together, we will:

    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.

  • I specialize in working with people who:

    If you struggle with issues related to your sexual health, self-doubt, overthinking, being overly self-critical, or people-pleasing, then we might be a good fit! I help folks embrace your authentic selves more fully and enhance intimate connections.

  • More about me and my practice:

    I acknowledge that the mental health field has a long history of oppressing the queer and trans community. I’m committed to decolonizing therapy practices and strive to minimize power dynamics by working from a collaborative approach.
