My Specialities
As a queer affirming, trauma-informed, and somatic therapist, I offer services that honor the full complexity of who you are — your identity, your body, your relationships, and your history.
​
Whether you're seeking support as an individual, couple, polycule, or family, my work integrates attachment-based, body-centered, and relational approaches to help you move toward deeper connection, healing, and self-trust. Below are the areas in which I have additional training and expertise, including what our work together may look like.
Queer Affirming Therapy for LGBTQ+ Individuals
This is not just “LGBTQ-friendly” therapy — it is explicitly inclusive, anti-oppressive, and grounded in an understanding of the realities queer folks navigate. As a queer affirming therapist, I aim to provide space that actively celebrates and affirms LGBTQ+ identities!
Together we may explore: identity development and coming out; religious or family trauma; internalized shame; gender exploration; building chosen family; navigating queer joy and desire.
LGBTQ+ Couples and
Relationship Therapy
As an LGBTQ+ couples and relationship therapist, I support queer folks in strengthening communication, deepening intimacy, and navigating conflict with compassion and clarity. Queer relationships deserve therapy that understands: non-heteronormative dynamics; polyamory or non-monogamy; gender expansiveness within relationships; intersections of race, culture, and queerness; and the impact of minority stress on connection. Whether you’re repairing ruptures, addressing familial cut offs, or simply wanting to grow closer, this space can help you build a relationship that feels secure, honest, and alive.
Sex and Intimacy Therapy
In your partnership(s), are you experiencing low or mismatched desire? Sexual shame? Disconnection from your body? Anxiety around intimacy? Desire discrepancy in relationships? As a sex and intimacy therapist, I help folks reconnect with pleasure, desire, and embodied connection.
​
Sex and intimacy therapy is not about performance — it’s about safety, communication, and attunement. Together we'll explore what pleasure means to you and how to build sexual experiences rooted in consent, authenticity, and curiosity.
Somatic Therapy &
Body-Based Healing
As a somatic therapist, I integrate body-centered practices to help you reconnect with your internal wisdom. Somatic therapy can support nervous system regulation, anxiety and panic, trauma recovery, sexual healing, and emotional processing​.​ This work may include:
-
Breath awareness
-
Tracking sensations
-
Grounding techniques
-
Gentle movement
-
Mind-body integration
​
Healing doesn’t happen only through talking — it also happens through learning how to listen to the body.
Therapy for Artists, Performers, and Creatives
Creative work asks a lot of your nervous system. Whether you’re a musician, actor, dancer, writer, visual artist, or multidisciplinary creative, your livelihood often depends on vulnerability, visibility, and self-expression. That can be exhilarating, unnerving, or even destabilizing.
​
Therapy for creatives can support you with: creative blocks and burnout; performance anxiety; audition or rejection fatigue; financial instability stress; identity enmeshment with your art; comparison and imposter syndrome; navigating visibility as a queer artist; boundary-setting in collaborative spaces.
Trauma-Informed Therapy for
C-PTSD & Relational Trauma
I understand how trauma lives not just in memory, but in the nervous system and body. Trauma-informed therapy means moving at your pace, prioritizing safety and consent, understanding activation through a nervous system lens, and building regulation skills before processing deeper wounds.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in attachment, developmental, relational, intergenerational, and sexual trauma.
​
Healing trauma is not about reliving everything — it’s about helping your system feel safe enough to live fully in the present.
