Hello. And a little about me and my appoach…
I received a M.A. in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles with a specialization in LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Psychology and hold a B.A. in Fine Art from the University of Southern California. My educational background combines degrees in psychology and fine art that informs my work with individuals and couples from all walks of life, including many who express themselves creatively through art, dance, music, and acting. I specialize in working affirmatively and sex-positively with LGBTQIA+ people exploring their sexuality, gender, and relationship-expansive (kink, poly, CNM) identities.
In my approach to therapy, it is my goal to co-create an attuned, safe, and collaborative relationship. Where we go in your therapeutic journey centers around your goals and individuality, honoring the diversity of all your intersectional identities. Together, we can explore problem narratives, relationship patterns, oppressions/normativity that may impact you, and mind-body connections with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. My hope is to accompany you through the [re]discovery of your inherent resilience to pursue growth that enables you to live authentically and explore new possibilities.
My approach is relational and integrates psychodynamic, post-modern feminist, narrative, and somatic therapies. If you find this resonates, I invite you to reach out to see if we might be a good fit. I look forward to a conversation with you.
