My areas of clinical expertise are trauma with a special focus on religious trauma, queer identity, and anxiety and depression. I utilize parts work, which is the idea that we are all made up of different parts of ourselves. During our sessions, I prioritize curiosity around who these parts are and what makes them feel safe.

My values in therapy include queer and trans-affirming care, fat-affirming care, neurodivergent-affirming care, and sex positive approaches. I am happy to provide letters for gender-affirming care and surgeries.

Our relationship is the most important part of our work together. The more we can get into right relationships with ourselves, each other, change, and the world around us, the better equipped we are to live a life full of meaning, joy, and awe. 

I am EMDR-trained (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and have seen great success when clients are set up to let their brain and bodies do the work of nonverbal reprocessing of trauma.

I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own experience and my job is to hold thoughtful space and ask questions to facilitate your own remembering of your agency and competence.

I also believe that therapy is just one tool for wellbeing, and I am just one member of your care team. If you are open to it, I would love to explore how we can expand your care team to include other modalities like acupuncture, bodywork, groups, and other resources tailored to your own experience and needs.
