Great to meet you!

I'm a queer and trans therapist with a background in medical social work and supportive housing. I've worked with people of all ages and backgrounds in individual, couples, and family therapy.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in relational therapy, so I will be working with what feelings, reactions, and experiences that come up in the here and now of our work together. I also use somatic techniques alongside more traditional psychotherapy and IFS to engage the body's role in the therapeutic process.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be exploratory and allow us to get to know one another so we can best dive into the work.
