Welcome!

I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Sex Therapist, and Educator who has provided therapy in the queer community since 2010.  My passion is working with adults to explore sexuality, gender, trauma, and equity. It’s my belief that every person’s birthright is liberation and connection to self and others. While cultures like capitalism and cis-hetero patriarchy seek to pathologize individuals and communities, I believe it’s obstacles to liberation and connection that leads to mental health suffering, not internal flaws.

My Intention

My intention is to build therapeutic relationships that nurture validation and growth.  I’ve witnessed growth happen when someone is provided a combination of acceptance and enough safety to tolerate being challenged. I hope to explore this edge with you, whether through therapy, trainings, consultation, or clinical supervision.

What is a Rhizome?

Rhizomes are supportive stem systems known for their horizontal growth patterns. They spread outward continuously and are able to generate new growth from any broken point. Because of their lateral, cooperative, and resilient design, rhizomes have become a symbol of collective liberation. I see them as a reflection of the wild and protective relationships I hope to build with individuals and communities.

Who am I?

As a queer, mixed-race, non-binary, mid-career, relational therapist, I find that the older I get, the more I know who I am.  My clients describe me as “warm,” “genuine,” and “a little bit strange.” You may read more about me below.
