Fields of Inquiry
My interests lie in the realm of the taboo, the shadow, the unknown: sexuality & eroticism, shame, transpersonal/spiritual awakening, transformation through trauma, and all the mundanity that comes with it. I have a deep passion and curiosity for attachment issues, intimacy struggles, and how to create meaningful, sustainable relationships while tuning in to our own authenticity. I look critically at systems-impacts and oppression, and bring an eclectic blend of somatics, existentialism, Gestalt, and psychodynamics to work with the material you bring to therapy.
Some arenas I have lived or work experience with:
~LGBTQIA+ issues
~Gender exploration
~Relational anxiety/attachment
~Codependency
~Activism/organizing/community building and conflict
~Life/career transitions
~Ancestral/intergenerational trauma
~Sexuality, kink, BDSM
~Non-monogamy or monogamy
~Spirituality & existential questions
~Alternative lifestyles or jobs
~Teen issues
~Childhood trauma
~Intense somatic responses (vomiting, insomnia, etc)
~COVID anxiety/social navigation

Populations
Communities and backgrounds I specialize in: sex workers, political organizers, queer and trans people, kinky people, non-monogamous people, queer parents/families, men who are interested in deconstructing masculinity, creatives, and anyone else who is living in the margins.
I am particularly drawn to working with teens, as I deeply resonate with this confusing and beautiful time in a person’s development, especially for queer and trans youth.
In couples work, I primarily find myself working with queer + non-monogamous couples, and have worked with quite a few consciously uncoupling relationships. I welcome partnerships of all kinds in my practice, and approach this work with a more directive style and emotionally-focused guidance.

Therapy & Coaching
I offer therapy for individual adults & teens, as well as couples (and more), in-person or via Telehealth.
I also am available for coaching for adults, especially in the realms of sexuality and life paths & transitions.
Fees:
$175 for individuals
$215 for couples
I am sometimes able to offer sliding-scale spots dependent on individual circumstance and current caseload. I ask that folks take an honest look at their privileges, positionality, and resources when requesting a different fee as I operate on an honor system. Please feel free to bring this up during our consultation if this is a need you may have.
