As a fellow human on this journey through life, I felt drawn to this field because of my own experience in psychotherapy. Therapy has enriched my life in so many ways, and I want to give back this gift that was given to me.
As a queer and bisexual identified person myself, I knew that I wanted to focus my practice on a client base that often faces marginalization and misunderstanding in psychotherapy. I wanted to provide a safe space for kinky, LGBTQ+, sex-workers and non-monogamous folx to feel welcomed. My aim is to be inclusive of all people regardless of sexuality, gender, race or ability.
I have worked in mental-health care since 2016. I began my training at a dual-diagnosis substance abuse rehab, and later transitioned to community mental health, helping children in the foster-care system and their families. Finally, I transitioned into private practice and focused on a sex-therapy specialization. I have a passion for learning about all things psychology related, especially as it relates to attachment, relationships and transcending traumatic experiences. I have more recently become interested in Internal Family Systems and ketamine-assisted therapy.
I utilize a holistic, mind-body approach to psychotherapy that is trauma-informed. I believe that developing mindfulness and connecting with our emotions and the signals our body sends us, leads to wholeness, a felt sense of safety, connection and joy. I love working with relationships because I find that relationships provide a mirror into our psyche.
Outside of work I enjoy movement and exercise, live theater, as well as spending time with my family and my dog.
