LCSW
Accepting Clients

Hi. I'm a queer, sex-positive, trauma-informed therapist with over ten years of experience providing LGBTQ+ and HIV-affirming care.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Durham, NC

About My Clients

Do you struggle to understand or name your feelings, needs, or desires? Would you like a better relationship with yourself and others? Maybe you’re looking for an open, safe, and positive space to heal and grow from past trauma? I strive to create access to compassionate and quality psychotherapy services for the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals living with HIV, and their supports.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in clinical work with LGBTQ+ individuals, people living with HIV, sex workers, individuals struggling with substance use disorders, and working with a diverse range of relationship styles and those significant to their lives. Additionally, I provide sex therapy services and therapy for trauma, anxiety, mood, ADHD, and adjustment disorders. My practice is inspired by the belief that all people deserve to live open, safe, and positive lives. Having healthy relationships with ourselves and others gives us the strength to be the most authentic versions of ourselves every day.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value a collaborative approach with my clients as they bring the expertise of living their own lives. Together we can work collaboratively to achieve your desired goals. I also value my clients having their own voice in therapy. I believe in unconditional positive regard and providing an open, safe, and positive space for people to come and seek healing.
