About this provider

Clients I Work With

My practice focuses on individuals who feel they fall outside of traditional narratives of what our lives "should" look like. This may show up in your relationships, sexuality, gender, or general approach to life. Through our work together, I can help you identify what works for you and what is better left behind.

Approach

My approach is rooted in existential and feminist therapy, which sounds academic, but what it really means in practice is this: I believe we're all wrestling with the same fundamental questions about life, meaning, connection, and who we are. Those questions don't look the same for everyone, but they're deeply human, and they're worth taking seriously. I also believe that who you are can't be separated from the world you live in. The impact of patriarchy, racism, heterosexism, ableism, and other systems of oppression isn't abstract, it shapes how you move through the world, how you see yourself, and what feels possible. Good therapy has to hold all of that. I think of therapy as a journey we are taking together. My role isn't to hand you a map and tell you where to go, it's to walk beside you, help you see the options that exist, and support you in choosing your own direction. While I may highlight options or explore possibilities, you choose the direction. You're the expert on you. I bring the psychology; you bring the self-knowledge. Together, we put both to work.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

As a queer person, I feel deeply passionate about serving the LGBTQ community and all of its beautiful intersections. As a white person, I am actively engaged in my own anti-racism work and am committed to being a co-conspirator with Black and Brown communities. Outside of therapy work, I also enjoy training and supervision, and find particular joy in working with early career clinicians. Personally, I have an undying love for geek culture. I'm an avid reader and love getting immersed in faraway worlds, whether through books, TV, or movies. Some of my favorite fandoms include Doctor Who, Firefly, and Marvel. If you're looking for a therapist who will help you while also pulling metaphors from your favorite fandom, please give me a call!
