Nice to meet you
I specialize in working with folks from the LGBTQ, poly, and kink communities. I like to think my therapy style is super casual and I don't take myself or therapy too seriously. I encourage a back-and-forth conversation so you want to come to sessions every week. I feel that the client should be the driver of the therapy journey and the therapist should be the one holding the map and helping to navigate. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care to guide my work and help you to improve your quality of life.
