Queer California Psychotherapist

I may not be the therapist for you if you want someone to nod blankly at you while scribbling on a pad (no T no shade!). My style is very active and engaged and I bring clarity, humor, honesty and authenticity to our sessions. Therapy with me can be playful and fun, while also gently challenging to help you go deep and to create space for real transformation.  I come to our work with curiosity, humility, and no assumptions about what life has handed you. I show up unapologetically as myself — in my weird shirts, bowties, and fresh fades, (lol) — because genuine connection is key to healing and shared liberation.

I work with the whole person — mind, body, and emotions — exploring how experiences, identity, and societal pressures have shaped your thoughts, feelings, and sense of self. All of your parts are welcome here. Together, we create ways to reclaim agency, pleasure, and liberation in your body, regulate your emotions, and build clarity, insight, and resilience in your daily life.
 

I have experience working with people facing all kinds of life challenges and coming from many different gender and cultural identities. I work from a neuroaffirmative, health-at-every-size, sex-positive, and gender-affirming perspective. In session, I offer both space for deep reflection and tangible tools to help you navigate life with more ease and clarity.
