I am a queer, non-monogamous, and radically sex positive therapist; I work hard to affirm folks of these and other marginalized identities.

About My Clients

I work with individuals, couples, and polycules experiencing a variety of emotional, sexual, and/or social health challenges. I work with children of all ages, and am passionate about providing age-appropriate gender and sexuality-affirming therapy. As a member of Wise Sex Therapy Associates, I strive to help clients cultivate fulfilling sexual relationships with themselves and others.

My Background and Approach

I intimately understand how healing from trauma can be emotionally fraught, draining, and tedious. My hope is to help you shoulder these burdens so that you don’t have to go through such emotional difficulties alone. My therapeutic approach actively endeavors to dismantle ways in which homophobia, fatphobia, sex negativity, and neurotypical hegemony may impede the healing process. You are the expert of your own experience and our work together will reflect that. My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, using modalities like psychosomatic therapy, internal family systems, cognitive restructuring, storytelling, and humor, among others, to address clients' unique needs. In couples' work, I use Gottman and Imago techniques to help partners foster non-violent communication and mutual understanding.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe pleasure is a human right and one that is deeply undervalued in our society. I’m staunchly pro- sex work, neurodivergence, kink, polyamory, fat liberation, justice for BIPOC folks, and queerness, to name a few. I’m dedicated to anti-oppressive practice and am especially passionate about providing support for folks whose experiences come from a place of marginalization.
