I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy to adults and adolescents with trauma or relational difficulties. 

​

I work best with people who are committed to therapy and who want to go deep-- writers, artists, healthcare workers, or folks who think and feel deeply about themselves, their culture, and the world around them. I feel particularly skilled at helping folks with emotional overwhelm, fear of intimacy, and spiritual/existential concerns. 

 

I identify as white, queer, and female, and I always take into account the sociopolitical context of my clients. I work with mostly queer, trans and non-binary clients, and I view societal oppression as a crucial force in people's lives. I am kink and polyamory affirming, and I strive to acknowledge and grapple with my privilege as a white person.

​

My style is relational-- meaning I am a real person who is invested in forming a relationship with you that feels good and facilitates healing. In session, we will co-create a space where you can grow in the ways you need.

​

Scientific research has shown that the best predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship we form together. In other words- we have to like each other! I encourage you to reach out and see if the vibe is right, and to trust your intuition. There's no forcing a good connection.
