Clients I Work With

I work primarily with adults seeking individual, couple, or family therapy. I focus my work on providing space for members of the Queer and Neurodivergent populations, as well as folks experiencing or interested in non-traditional relationship structures. I work well with folks who value honesty and humor in the therapy room. I tend to enjoy collaborating with my clients to explore topics related to identity, navigating complex relationships, and working through trauma that may be influencing our present day experience. I center my work on exploring how our patterns of behavior, emotions, and the stories we are carrying impact how we show up in our relationships and our beliefs about ourselves.

Approach

Sessions with me tend to be a collaboration around working towards your longer term goals and hopes, and giving space to what is pressing in the moment. I use the first few sessions with folks to get to know you as person, the stories you carry, and what pieces of the past might show up in our work together. With longer term work, I seek to be a space to invite curiosity around our patterns of living, explore what no longer serves you, and envision different pathways forward. I primarily work from a relational and systemic approach that centers Narrative therapy, Emotions Focused therapy, Somatic work, and Compassion Focused Mindfulness. My lens can incorporate information we receive from our emotions, our physical sensations, and our internal beliefs about ourselves and expectations we are holding to understand what might benefit from shifting or from a change in perspective.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

My work and lenses are shaped by my values and lived experiences. As a member of the Queer community and the Neurodivergent community, I do my best to bring creativity, transparency, and expansiveness into my therapeutic work. I believe that navigating the world and your place in it is challenging, especially if you haven’t always had the guides, examples, or spaces you needed. I hope to provide a nonjudgemental and collaborative space that can allow for curiosity and change.
