About
I come to counseling with a background in the arts, nonprofit sector, and service industryâexperiences that shape how I engage with clients in session. I have a deep commitment to working with the LGBTQ+ community, trans and nonbinary individuals, creatives, people in nontraditional relationship structures, and those exploring kink and pleasure in its many forms. I believe that everyone seeks pleasure and creativity, and tapping into these parts of ourselves is a way to find meaning in our lives.
I support clients navigating recent or longstanding trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, relational challenges, and mood-related concerns. I have found working with complex trauma to be extremely rewarding, and challenge my clients to move through avoidance and into engagement with difficult emotions at their own pace.
Trust, safety, and mutual respect are are the heart of my work with clients. Once we have that foundation, you'll find that I'm collaborative, direct, and unabashedly myself. I see it as my job to be a passionate advocate for your autonomy and growth throughout our work together.
