About me

As humans, our greatest strength is our ability to form connections with others. As a therapist, I aim to create authentic relationships with my clients in an open, trustworthy environment. Through trauma-informed practice, I work with my clients to foster fulfilling connections and secure attachments in their personal lives.

My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, and centering the client's treatment needs is my number one priority. I am trained as a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment-oriented therapist but I also integrate behavioral techniques to fit my clients' unique needs. As a sex educator, I approach all my clients from a sex-positive, trauma-informed perspective.

 

As a clinician, I value working at the intersection of sexual and mental health. From my background as a sex educator, I am never one to shy away from uncomfortable and taboo topics. It is important to me to provide LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous, and sex work-affirming care to my diverse clientele. Furthermore, as a social worker dedicated to the mission of social justice with a background in implicit bias research, providing accessible, culturally humble care from an anti-oppressive framework is imperative to my clinical practice.

I love to learn and am always seeking opportunities to hone my skills. I am a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) and have completed post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches to Autism. 

I firmly believe that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. I take an integrative, collaborative approach to tailor therapy to each client's individual needs. If you're interested in scheduling a free 15-minute consultation, contact me
