I am a radical queer therapist with the belief that healing and feeling our emotions is in opposition to the harmful systems and structures we are under. I also believe a safe therapeutic relationship can be a foundation for harnessing community, connectivity, interdependence, and joy.
I hold a masters degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate College of Education & Counseling, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have attachment-focused EMDRIA-certified training through The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. Additional mind-body experiential approaches such as parts and inner child work are often incorporated into sessions.
I work with queer couples and relationships of all configurations, as well as individuals with childhood and/or relational trauma. I have deep ties to these communities as well as those currently or previously experiencing scarcity.
