I believe in you and your stories. We each hold the power to define our story, identity, and sexuality. Sex, love, gender, relationships, and romance—these topics can be tricky to navigate and often uncomfortable to address. I am here to assist you (and your partners) in tackling these concepts and conversations with affirmation, validation, and a little humor. I am dedicated to helping you develop the skills needed to live your most authentic life. As a member of the LGBTQ, non-monogamous, nudist, kink, and neurodivergent communities, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with expressing your true self. Navigating these complexities can be difficult, but you are not alone—I am here to support you on your journey toward a more fulfilling and joyful life. Together, we will address issues by focusing on your successes and how you want your story to be understood. Whether you need support with gender, men's and women's issues, non-monogamy, kink and BDSM dynamics, relationship concerns, societal stressors, or LGBTQ concerns, I provide a safe space for exploration within the spectrums of Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I am trained in Sex Therapy, including Gender-Affirming Sex Therapy for those reacquainting with their bodies during or after gender transition. My approach is informed by social justice. I draw from Narrative therapy, postmodern, and sex-positive feminist theory. I believe the problem is the problem and that you are never the problem, and that you are the expert of your own life and the shared expert of your own relationship. I am an active observer who offers kind feedback to help you establish the preferred life you want to be living. I am here to help you highlight your power and navigate life's challenges. I am exceptionally excited to work with you!

Hi :) I'm a licensed therapist in the state of California. I'm queer and non-monogamous, and it's important to me to hold safe space for people of all sexual, gender, and relationship orientations. I have specialized training in supporting people with issues related to neurodivergence, non-monogamy, unstable relationships, and LGBTQ+ related issues. I've also worked in the psychiatric mental health setting both as a therapist at a hospital and in inpatient residential programs, which strengthened my skills in supporting people with a wide range of mental health challenges and diagnoses. My style with clients is individualized based on each person's personality and needs. I often incorporate Mindfulness, Expressive arts, IFS parts work, DBT, CBT, and Somatic interventions into my work with clients. I also support clients in envisioning ways to strengthen their support systems if needed, with a foundational belief that connection with community is vital to healing the widespread anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and loneliness that most people in our culture struggle with. You are not alone, even though it often feels that way in our individualistic culture. We're all in this together, and I'd love to meet you and join your support team as you find ways to best navigate the ups and downs of this wild ride of life.
