“I am a sex-positive, trauma-informed clinician specializing in individuals who are non-monogamous, kinky, queer and/or have chronic illness. I also have a lot of experience working with those diagnosed with personality disorders and OCD. I believe one of the most important components of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. My approach is client-centered, and together we will create a therapy space that feels safe, effective and comfortable for you.
As a therapist, I am warm and supportive while also making sure to hold my clients accountable when necessary. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as Mentalization Based Therapy, and will often pull on some of these techniques while bringing in other areas of focus that are important for you.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ and disabled communities, thinking about the way systems impact our mental health is a key part of the way I work. I believe in deconstructing the parts of therapy that could potentially be harmful to clients of marginalized identities. I am constantly educating myself in order to improve and be more informed, and encourage my clients to do the same when they are wanting to engage in that work.
I also have experience working with children who are questioning their gender identity, and providing support to family members.”
