About My Clients

I am particularly passionate about partnering with clients seeking support around sexual health, relational challenges, gender-affirming care, life transitions, complex trauma, and any co-occurring anxiety and depression that may accompany these topics.

My Background and Approach

In my therapeutic practice, I endeavor to promote a safe, warm, and affirming environment. I approach clinical work through a non-pathologizing lens and value the knowledge, wisdom, and intuition accompanying clients’ lived experiences. I operate from a place of empathy, curiosity, and cultural humility when navigating every interaction. I am knowledgeable in a variety of therapeutic modalities, often integrating elements of CBT, solutions-focused therapy, emotions-focused therapy, strengths-based approaches, & motivational interviewing when working with clients. In addition, I incorporate an ecological systems framework that considers the interplay between biological, psychological, social, & cultural factors that influence a person’s mental health and well-being. I am in the process of completing an advanced certificate in sexual health and sex therapy at the University of Michigan. Following this training, I plan on pursuing AASECT licensure as a certified sex therapist.
