About My Clients

Hi! I am a queer licensed clinical social worker and a human. I’d love to work with you! I highlight those identity markers because it highlights that I am first and foremost accepting of you and your experience.

If you feel like it’s going to take a while to get to the thing you have been struggling with? Let’s talk about relatable social media posts or the TV shows you’re watching. This process is 100% for you and I want you to know that you have the power to direct our time together.
