As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I have experienced first-hand the need for affirming services. I strive for awareness and humility for all identity aspects, even those I do not share. We all deserve to be seen and respected for who we are - not who society thinks we should be. Whether you are just beginning to explore your identity or you have been on this journey for years, I am here to validate and support you. It's difficult to navigate a world that makes us feel like we shouldn't exist; I want to work with you to find authenticity, community, and hope in defiance of these barriers.
I specialize in helping queer and polyamorous folks create a life they feel satisfied living by collaborating with them to define and achieve their goals. Leaving behind the expectations of a society obsessed with binaries gives us the freedom to explore what we want our relationships and lives to look like - which can be both exciting and terrifying.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, centering anti-capitalism and collective liberation. I view therapy as a collaborative and non-authoritarian partnership between a clinician and a client that is mutually transformative. I look forward to working together to discover your strengths and values, and tapping into your natural resilience.
