Therapy with me is grounded in presence and trust. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, meeting whatever arises with curiosity. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood especially when it comes to the deeper, more complex parts of your life and identity.

I integrate therapeutic approaches such as Relational Gestalt, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jungian analysis, Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Acceptance-Based Psychotherapy. These modalities support a deep, curious exploration of identity, relationships, and life’s complexities. Here’s what our work might include:

We start with what’s present

Rather than focusing only on the past, we begin with what you're experiencing right now. This means emotionally, physically, and relationally. We’ll pay close attention to the patterns that show up in your thoughts, relationships, and body, especially in moments of anxiety, shutdown, or disconnection.

We explore the parts of you that show up in stress

You might notice parts of yourself that seek control, want to please, withdraw, or feel deeply overwhelmed. These parts usually developed for a reason, even if they no longer serve you. Together, we’ll get to know them. The work is not to get rid of them, but to understand what they’re trying to protect and what they might need instead.

We ask questions that have been quieted

Whether you're grieving, questioning your identity, or wrestling with desire and connection, we will create space to ask the harder questions: Who am I now? What do I want? What am I afraid of? Together, we’ll listen for the deeper meaning underneath what’s been hard to name.

We work through the body, not just the mind

I integrate somatic (body-based) practices to help you slow down and feel more grounded. Sometimes the body holds what words cannot. As a result, we will work towards  tuning into sensations, e.g. tightness in the chest, a lump in the throat, a sudden stillness. That awareness will help you gain insight into what’s happening beneath the surface and furthermore, help facilitate more self-trust and space to make different decisions and choices.

We create space for queer experiences and liberation

Many therapy models weren’t built with queer lives in mind. My approach honors and integrates LGBTQIA+ experiences, recognizing how shame, resilience, identity, and longing often intersect in ways traditional therapy can miss. 

We aim to move toward clarity and choice

The goal isn’t perfection or “fixing” yourself, rather it’s deeper self-trust. Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded in who you are, clearer about what matters, and more able to meet life’s challenges with compassion and agency.

My practice is rooted in queer-affirmative therapy and is sex-positive, kink-aware, and allied with ethical and consensual non-monogamy. I’m committed to ongoing consciousness in my work, creating a space where intersecting identities — including race, gender, sexuality, and class — are recognized, honored, and explored with care.
