My Therapy Specialties

  • What do I mean by secular therapy? Well, I practice from a place of non-religion or belief. I also provide a space to question or deconstruct from religion, as well as navigate any trauma from past religious communities and experiences. And then there is the process of re-constructing a life framework when the religious framework has been rejected.

  • I am committed to providing an affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community to be seen and heard and to assist in navigating a life well lived without judgement.

  • I am committed to providing an affirming space for folks who are non-monogamous, and/or involved in the kink community, and are having difficulty finding a therapist that will walk with you through challenges without defaulting to monogamy.
