Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

she/her

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who loves working with queer individuals, couples/relationship systems, and people practicing non-monogamy. As a queer, non-monogamous person myself, I understand how meaningful it can be to have a therapist who genuinely gets the complexity, creativity, and joy that can come with building relationships outside of traditional norms.

My approach is experiential, relational, direct, and grounded in plenty of humor. With individuals, I often draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches to help you better understand yourself, connect with different parts of you, and feel more at home in your body. I also have training in the NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), which can be especially helpful for people working through the effects of developmental or relational trauma.

With couples and partners, I draw from Gottman Method, Pragmatic/Experiential Couples Therapy (PET-C), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I’m interested in helping partners slow down stuck patterns, communicate more honestly, understand what’s happening underneath conflict, and build relationships that feel more connected and authentic. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, exploring your identity or relationship structure, working through old patterns, or simply wanting a deeper understanding of yourself, I aim to create a space where you can be fully yourself, without judgment or the expectation that you need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.

I also offer extended/deep dive sessions for both couples and individuals, starting at 90 minutes and going up to 4hours a day for those wanting to have more spaciousness in the therapy space.

As a person outside of being a therapist I enjoy hanging out with my two cats, Chappell and Florence, playing gay kickball on Sundays and I love all things astrology and tarot.
