As a therapist, others have often described me as grounded, solid, and patient. I am very focused, both on you as my client and on your goals. I tend to be more active rather than passive and I bring a lot of humor into sessions when it's appropriate. I accept you completely as you are, and I will also challenge you to grow and change instead of repeating old familiar patterns, if those patterns don't seem to be serving you well anymore.

I primarily approach therapy through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), or "parts work", in order to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, to achieve greater self-acceptance and self-compassion, and to better navigate difficult situations in the world around you. In addition to IFS, I also use concepts and interventions from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Evolutionary Psychology. I have extensive experience working with trans and queer folks, polyamory/ethical nonmonogamy, kink, and sex-positivity.
