Seeking a space to explore your authentic self? I work with individuals, couples, families, and polycules navigating diverse identities, desires, and relationship dynamics. Through trauma-informed, sex-positive Telehealth sessions, I provide support across California for those facing challenges or seeking growth within gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (GSRD). With a grounded, non-judgmental approach, I empower clients to build resilience and fulfilling connections. I am queer-affirming, kink-affirming, and non-monogamy-affirming, welcoming you as you are.
No topic is "too much" for our session space. I meet you where you are, tailoring sessions to your pace and feedback. Combining a "here and now" Gestalt approach with proven methods like the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a safe environment to explore relationship challenges, emotional growth, and self-discovery.
Choosing a therapist online can feel daunting. I invite you to book a free consultation to get a sense of my approach and explore how we might work together on your path to healing. This call is a chance for you to ask questions and feel out if my style resonates. Please reach out through my website. I look forward to connecting and supporting your journey.
