Great to meet you!

I am social worker who practices telehealth psychotherapy. My specialty is with neurodivergent individuals, people in ethical non-monogamous relationships, the kink/BDSM community, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I also specialize in working with adults who have been marginalized by their body, gender, and sexuality.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is process based, collaborative and challenging without judgment. I view psychotherapy through a sex positive, body positive, Health At Every Size, feminist, and culturally humble lens. My focus is not on pathologizing but of discovering and embracing aspects of yourself and the way you live your life.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a conversation, not an intake form. I'll ask about you, your history, your world, and what brought you here, and I genuinely want you to ask questions too. You'll get a sense of how I work; I'll get a sense of who you are and what matters to you.
