Therapy style

I love working with non-monogamous and queer-identifying individuals and relationships. My approach is sex-positive, affirming, and supportive. My therapeutic approach is compassion-centered, gentle, and warm. I most align with person and compassion-centered approach. I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space, to be a sounding board, and to collaborate with you to find solutions that may ease the distress you are holding.

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Strengths-based

Interests

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time connecting with my kids (who identify as queer and neurodivergent) and Perseus, our doodle. I enjoy crocheting amigurumi, reading voraciously, and watching films.
