🎓 Practicum Student, MS Marriage & Family Therapy and Sex Therapy Certificate, UW-Stout (2024-25)
In a world that demands oppressed people remain quiet, small, and inoffensive, I believe recovery and joy are radical acts of resistance. I chose to become a therapist because I wanted to offer others the same affirming and empowering support I have received in the past when I needed it the most. I’m passionate about serving communities that have been let down, marginalized, and abused by wider society, particularly those that have held me up throughout my life, including the queer, trans and non-binary, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, non-monogamous, and BDSM-kink-fetish communities.
In therapy with me, you can trust that I will hold both your pain and your victories with the reverence and care they deserve. I will take a collaborative, warm, and affirming approach towards our work together, and will honor your position as an expert in your own lived experiences. I utilize Solution-Focused (SFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) lenses. Whether you’re looking to change your perspective on life and step confidently into your future with more hope and less fear, or you’re interested in doing deeper work to get to the roots of your struggles and learn to show kindness to the young, hurt parts of yourself, I can help you get there.
I have a background in sex education and am currently working towards my sex therapy certificate and Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at UW-Stout. I enjoy working with issues around sex and pleasure, writing gender-affirming care letters for those seeking them, and offering support to couples, partners, and other relational systems.
When I’m not at work or school, I enjoy spending time with my partners and my cat Piper, who I will happily show pictures of every chance I get. I also enjoy writing, video games, DC Comics, and connecting with nature. I am working under the supervision of Coltan Schoenike, MS, LMFT.
