Are you in an unhealthy relationship with yourself or with your body and need guidance to restructure your image and your behavior?

Are you looking for a queer, kinky therapist who can understand you because she has walked a path similar to your own?

Are you in the LGBTQ+ or kink community and want to explore your identity or various facets of yourself?

Life can be messy and complicated, I know. I know because I have learned — through my own lived experience — the importance of psychotherapy for healing from trauma. I am trauma-informed and trained in multiple modalities including EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, and others. I provide a client-centered approach to therapy.

As my client, you will gain self-knowledge, healing, and new insight. You will learn relational skills to use in your present and future life, coping skills to utilize when you are stressed or anxious, and self-compassion to carry with you long past your time working with me.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who experience disordered eating because I am so passionate about helping others heal their relationships with their physical bodies and with their behaviors around food. I utilize a HAES approach, plus overall mindset towards food, body size, and holistic health.

My involvement in the kink/alternative lifestyle/ENM communities has taught me how hard it is to find a therapist who can work with someone without the kink/alternative lifestyle/ENM becoming the presenting problem. I get excited about working with clients who are within the LGBTQ+ and/or kink communities because my own lived experience can benefit them. In this same vein, I like working with people new to kink or ENM and helping them navigate issues of identity in this unique experience.

In all cases, I offer a safe space and a compassionate witness for your emotional experience.

I care deeply about my clients and hold hope for them while they learn to grow their own. I am funny, sarcastic, and sometimes a little bit irreverent, and I am skilled in gently using levity to aid my clients in truly looking at who they are and what they want and need. I do not ascribe to the traditional biomedical model’s view of therapy as therapist-directed: I walk beside my clients, not in front of them.

When you are my client, you are safe, I hear you, and I support you!
