Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Sex Therapist, and Educator who has offered therapy in the queer community since 2010. I’m passionate about working with adults on sexuality, gender, trauma, and equity. It’s my deep belief that every person has the same birthright to liberation and connection, and that the lack of this impacts our personal, community and global mental health.
My Intention
My intention is to build therapeutic relationships that nurture validation and growth. I have witnessed true growth happen when someone is given the combination of feeling both safe and safe enough to be challenged. I hope to explore this edge with you whether it be through therapy, trainings, or clinical supervision.
As of 8/23/24, I do not have openings for therapy clients. I do have openings for clinical supervisees, support group members, and training partnerships.
What’s 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.
