Professional Bio:
As a queer, nonbinary individual, I understand what it’s like being in therapy and the complex feelings that can arise in the therapeutic space. I strive to foster an environment where I can meet people where they are at, no matter their stage of life or
current circumstance. I bring empathy, honesty, authenticity and—when appropriate—humor to the space we co-create as a team. My role is to get to know you rather than fix you, and explore ways to work towards a future that aligns with your
values and therapeutic goals.
My professional career has spanned multiple settings: medical facilities, schools
and nonprofit spaces in which I witnessed the ways that our systems and institutions can
both heal and harm us. My previous work has allowed me to provide a container in which
people are encouraged to explore their own identity, lived experiences, and the ways in
which they influence how they show up in the world. I am particularly excited about
working with LGBTQ+ youth, young adults, and their loved ones. I understand that
therapy is a collaborative practice that should incorporate important members of one’s
community.
Our work together will be grounded in a relational approach: honoring the unique
relationship we co-create and utilizing it as a tool to examine how our dynamic can be
used to challenge patterns and unhelpful coping skills. I draw from liberation psychology
and anti-carceral practices, prioritizing bodily autonomy and emotional expression,
sometimes through art, music, and storytelling. I offer DBT-informed and somatic skills
to foster stronger relationships and assist you in navigating times of urgency and crisis.
This work can be intimate, challenging, and, sometimes, joyful, and I am grateful to be a
part of your journey.
