In a Nutshell...born and bred in the Bay Area, my priority as a therapist is getting to know you in order to best support your unique journey. There is only one you. You are the expert on your life and there is no "one size fits all" answer for healing and personal growth. And yet, we are connected by the shared human experience. I am here to walk with you as we co-create a path toward the life you want to live. I am passionate about learning your individual story, so that we may collaborate in ways that resonate with you to support what is truly important in your life.
The Approach... I am a client-centered, trauma-informed, sex affirmative practitioner. I consider myself an integrationist with a special interest in mindfulness based offerings and sex therapy. First and foremost, we will focus on building a relationship and container of trust necessary for growth and healing. How we work beyond this will be highly personalized and dependent on our unique client-therapist connection.
I am especially passionate about client-centered, trauma-informed, sex affirmative therapy for all - especially uplifting BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Kink voices and stories of these communities that I belong to and am allied with.
