Sometimes life shatters us, and we have to pick up the pieces and figure out who we are all over again. It is harder than ever to do this work when the world around us is falling apart. And yet, here we are. You do not have to suffer alone. With curiosity, compassion, and a healthy sense of humor, I will help you identify strengths, tap into courage, and develop resilience. I see you as the expert on your life and I welcome the opportunity to help you become who you were always meant to be.

I work with individuals, folks in unconventional/ethically non-monogamous relationships, couples, and families. My style is warm, direct, and playful. I can support you in redefining your relationships, deepening your connection to your body, challenging old stories about who you are, changing your thinking, and developing habits that help you live in alignment with your values and your true self.

As an integrative therapist, I will always meet you where you are and tailor our work in order to support you in reaching your goals. I have training in dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, drama therapy, motivational interviewing, gender affirming care, and attachment therapy. My work is always trauma-informed and rooted in the principles of social justice and disability justice.

In addition to my training as a therapist, I have decades of experience as a mindfulness practitioner, an interdisciplinary performing artist, and a facilitator of community healing rituals. Folks I work with regularly tell me that they love being able to laugh with me, and to be seen as they are, without judgment or shame. Our work will happen within the safety of the relationship we create together. A healthy, authentic connection is vital for successful therapy, and I welcome your questions about my practice. Please contact me for a free consultation–I look forward to meeting you so that we can see if we’re a good fit.
