I help patients find the permission they need to give themselves in order to live their most full, most authentic lives. I facilitate modern, collaborative psychotherapy grounded in anti-oppressive frameworks that recognize the impact and importance of what happens in both the outside world and your own, unique interior emotional world. I work from my own lived and embodied experiences, and seek a deep understanding of yours, to guide and inform our work together, moving you towards a more grounded, authentic, connected life.
Whether the pain and disconnection you’re experiencing is related to your sense of self or your body, whether based in trauma, chronic pain or illness, gender dysphoria, chronic dieting, disordered eating, or related to struggles with relationship problems, LGBTQIA+/GSM issues such as claiming queerness, examining identity and sexuality, and navigating relationship dynamics, with chosen family and family of origin, friends, romantic and sexual partners and peers, I’m here to help. I’ll focus on cultivating a strong partnership with you, and in doing so, will help you better understand yourself and your relationships.
I work with patients aged 13+, individuals, families, couples and those in relationships of all structures. While all are welcome in my practice, I offer special insights for queer and trans folks and those living in larger bodies.
