I provide therapy for individuals 16 and older who are curious about their interpersonal patterns, are seeking growth in one or more life areas, are struggling with painful or intrusive memories, and/or who seek to harvest inner wisdom about themselves. I provide trauma-informed, respectful, attentive and compassionate therapy. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ communities.

I have been in the field of social work since 2012 and providing therapy since 2020. I have both a bachelors and masters degree in social work with a focus on mental health treatment from early childhood on. Therapists with a social work background tend to believe that mental health problems exist in a crossroad of factors and cannot be understand in isolation. I also have a background in activism and community organizing, and that is a primary thread in my practice. My background prepares me to meet despair, confusion, survival strategies, fear, anger, and shame with astute compassion. I am a humanist, which means I believe humans possess a goodness that is inseparable from our essential nature.

I use talk, mindfulness, and movement-based therapy. My goal is for my clients to feel welcome. Together, we will work on creating for you a kind, curious inner stance that offers the least resistance to experiencing life’s sweetness. At the end of therapy, I aim to make sure someone has a feeling of aliveness and interest in life, possesses inner strength to handle life problems, and a genuinely established sense of their right to belong in the world.

In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, watching reality tv, cross referencing therapy techniques with research from other disciplines (neuroscience, physics, botany), and perusing the city. I am a kink, polyam, and sex worker friendly therapist.
