I am a fat, queer, neurodiverse, cisgender therapist who knows the importance of feeling seen and understood by your therapist. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I want to offer gender and queer-affirming services to those who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, TGNC, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, gender fluid, intersex, CNM, polyamorous, kink, and questioning. I also believe in the importance of sharing space for multiple identities and being a culturally competent provider.

Approach Description: Therapy is a collaborative process that can help you to heal, understand your personal history, process trauma, or just know yourself a little better. My therapeutic relationships are grounded in principles of non-judgment, harm reduction, compassion, and positive regard. Together we will work to help you find new coping mechanisms, explore your relationship to yourself and others, and learn to trust your own inner strength in order to make the best decisions for yourself.

I offer short-term and long-term non-judgmental individual and relationship therapy with a trauma-informed, intersectional, strength-based, and person-centered perspective. I practice using psychodynamic and attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and somatic therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and harm reduction modalities. Therapy is a unique experience for each person and do not use a "one size fits all" approach. My services are personalized to suit everyone’s needs and whether or not you seek therapy for issues related to your Queer identity, I will work hard to ensure that you feel safe and supported.
