My approach to therapy integrates mindfulness, a person-centered and narrative therapy informed theoretical lens, and incorporates strengths-based, somatic, and cognitive behavioral therapy practices. I believe that mental healthcare must acknowledge the individual holistically, including their place within larger systems and relational structures. My role as a therapist is to meet each client where they’re at, facilitate a safe space of acceptance, reflection, and healing.

My values as a therapist have been shaped by my own lived experiences as a queer, trans, non-binary, and chronically ill person, as well as my experiences working with LGBTQIA+ populations as a sex educator in both pleasure-focused and health-focused educational and medical settings. This means I have developed a trauma-informed approach which centers client autonomy and consent and respects the connection between mind, emotion, and body. I am especially interested in working with clients in the LGBTQIA+, aging, nonmonogamous, and chronically ill communities around issues of identity, dysphoria, relational issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and self-worth. I am grounded in gender-affirming, anti-racist, anti-ablest, body-neutral, decolonial frameworks which allow us to reframe and decenter oppressive systems and internalized shame. These values, experiences, and theoretical frameworks support my goals to support clients in building trust and acceptance within themselves and promote healing and wellbeing which affirms their intersectional identities, experiences, and strengths.

I am a recent graduate from St. Mary’s University, with a MA in Counseling & Psychological Services. I have spent the last decade of my life working in sex education, sexual health, and mental healthcare, and received a BA in English Literature from Macalester College. At Edges I am supervised by Mark Reese. In my free time I enjoy experimental baking, learning about everything from geology to chemistry, practicing tarot, and cuddling up with my cat while enjoying a block of deliciously aged gouda (cheese).
