Guiding Principle: As a queer-identified therapist, I believe in offering an affirming space for people of all identities and experiences, including LGBTQIA2S+, poly, and kink communities. I work collaboratively with clients to create a supportive, safe and healing environment, free of judgment, that strives to honor their history and individual experiences, such as growing up LGBTQIA2S+, experiencing discrimination, family dynamics, loss and grief. Together, we explore ways to further understand what makes us who we are and move towards living a more fulfilled life.

Additional Training or Expertise: Extensive experience with queer and trans individuals. Exploration of gender and sexuality, family/interpersonal relationship issues, boundaries, living with HIV/AIDS, trauma processing and recovery. Support through transitioning, including gender affirming surgery letter writing.
