I work with people who don't always know where to find a therapist who will actually get what they're going through. People leaving religious communities and processing what that means. People in kink, BDSM, or sex work communities who need a clinician who approaches their lives with real curiosity instead of judgment. People in LGBTQ+ communities, particularly trans and gender diverse folks, navigating a world that requires a particular kind of resilience.

I also specialize in trauma and PTSD, substance use, and what happens at the end of life, both in supporting people who are dying and those grieving someone who did.

My training is clinical and grounded. I completed my Doctorate in clinical psychology at the Wright Institute and my predoctoral internship at the UCSF Trauma Recovery Center, where I worked with survivors of religious and gender based persecution, gun violence, and sexual assault. I've been doing this work for ten years.

My therapeutic method is integrative. I draw from narrative therapy, feminist frameworks, social justice approaches, and trauma informed practices. The through line is empowerment: helping you stay present and authentic in your own life rather than managed or contained.

I'm also a community educator and have consulted with organizations on building genuinely LGBTQ+ affirming services.

I believe therapy begins with safety. That's the first thing we build. If you're looking for a clinician who can hold the full complexity of your life without flinching, I'd love to hear from you.
