About My Clients

My clients are creative, nerdy, queer and sex-positive people looking for someone to help them make sense of things and themselves. My clients seek authenticity and to feel seen by a provider who will work with them as a partner to help them live their best lives as their truest selves.

My Background and Approach

We all have needs. Sometimes they’re big, complicated needs like a feeling of belonging or sense of purpose. Sometimes needs are more basic like getting enough sleep or feeling safe where we live. Whenever we don’t get a need met, that creates unfinished business - needs that linger around. Too much unfinished business and we become fragmented, unable to effectively deal with our present because we’re so consumed about past needs or too worried about future ones. Using a foundation based on a combination of Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Feminist Therapy, I help people define and address their needs.
