I am a bisexual-identified, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+, kinky, poly-affirming, and sex work-positive therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules, offering a collaborative space to explore how past experiences, shame, identity, and mental health shape your relationships and sense of self. My approach is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, harm-reduction focused, and eclectic, allowing therapy to be tailored to your unique needs and relational systems. I strive to create a space that feels grounded, authentic, and compassionate—where difficult conversations can happen with honesty, care, and curiosity. My style is casual and direct, and I value open, supportive, and thoughtfully challenging dialogue as a pathway toward deeper understanding, connection, and meaningful change.
I am in-network with Aetna, BCBS/Anthem, Optum/Oxford/UHC, and Carelon.
