About My Clients

I provide an integrative approach that is warm, engaged, collaborative, strength-based and trauma-informed to support you in getting to where you want to be. While I specialize in working with queer & trans adolescents, individuals, and couples—I love working with all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds, ages, sexualities, and relationship styles.

My Background and Approach

If you've ever felt lost or stuck in a painful pattern or conflict, or struggle with overwhelming emotions, or have trouble connecting with them, therapy with me is a profound way to discover yourself again and have new experiences. To restore balance and flexibility, and to reawaken your inherent capacity for joy and resilience. I listen with attention, empathy, & curiosity as we encounter and explore your conflicts, pains, and desires. We accomplish your goals by concentrating on what is important to you in a space where you will be listened to and heard, and where we will share an honest & accurate reflection of your experience. My passion is to help you connect to your authentic desires, needs, boundaries, and find effective strategies for navigating life's stressors. You don't have to do this alone. You deserve relief from suffering; to feel empowered and supported in your life. I'm honored to support your unique process of growth and healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My philosophy of care is to provide compassionate holistic support for your unique position, to help you achieve your goals. I'm committed to supporting your autonomy, authenticity, and fulfillment. As a queer, non-binary trans child of immigrants, I'm familiar with bi-cultural/diaspora experience and occupying the liminal spaces and traversing the space of being neither here nor there. I'm sex & sex work positive, and experienced in working with non-monogamy. I provide an integrative approach that is warm, engaged, collaborative, strength-based and trauma-informed. I'm trained in Gestalt and a wide range of modalities that will be tailored to address your individual needs, including somatic and artistic approaches.
