I enjoy working with folks both individually and relationally in the context of romantic and aromantic relationships. I bring curiosity, non-judgmental presence, sex-positivity, radical acceptance, and laughter towards my social work and therapeutic praxis. Therapy and social work are inherently political and so I work to make clear both the power I hold in the therapeutic relationship and support you in finding ways to navigate the oppression in which we all live and breathe. My work tends to explore themes in the intersections around autism and neurodiversity, disability, gender, sexuality and kink, consensual non monogamy, spirituality, anxiety and depression, self-worth, and the many ways we construct meaning in life.

It is my hope that therapy can be a space where we can explore what matters to you, how your emotions and nervous system show up in your life and relationships, what keeps you up at night, grief and heartbreak, the patterns that no longer serve you or your relationships, and how to move towards your values, needs, and desire both for yourself or in the context of your relationships. Ultimately, I hope we can discover how to get curious with your emotions and meet them with compassion, curiosity, and understanding instead of judgment. I adamantly believe you are already enough and it is my deep joy and privilege to accompany clients while they grow in self compassion and abandon emotional cleanliness for emotional authenticity. 

My approach to therapy draws from a variety of sources, but particularly client centered therapy (Rogerian therapy) and narrative therapy. Though I also draw heavily from polyvagal theory and somatic and mindfulness based approaches, existential therapy and humanistic thought, and emotion focused therapy. I hold all these in conversations with movements important to my life such as marxism, feminism, disability justice, and queer, trans, sexual, and fat liberation movements.

I identify as a white, fat, queer, genderqueer and trans femme/woman, and neurodivergent therapist.
