Great to meet you!

Thanks for reaching out! I've been practicing professionally for eight years, working with people finding better ways to deal with life's issues. While I work primarily with adults, both individually and couples, I have extensive experience with trauma. I am an AASECT-trained Sex Therapist. I have an MA in Clinical Psychology, and am a PhD Candidate in Human Sexuality. I offer gender-affirming care (talk therapy), and am an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community.

My approach to therapy

I work from a humanistic, psychodynamic approach blending aspects of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I am an AASECT-Trained Sex Therapist, and proudly offer gender-affirming talk therapy.

What you can expect from me

A supportive space to explore feelings safely, without judgment.
