Clinical Supervisor & Therapist
As a queer clinical supervisor and therapist, I am passionate about creating spaces where both clients and clinicians can deepen into authenticity, reflection, and growth. I view supervision as a collaborative process grounded in curiosity, social justice, and integrity, where we explore not only clinical skill but also the personal and cultural forces that shape our work. In therapy, I specialize in depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming care. My work integrates harm reduction, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, always centering the wisdom and agency of the people I work with. I offer affirming support for queer, trans, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as those navigating polyamory, kink/BDSM, and explorations of gender, sexuality, and identity through a decolonial and liberatory lens. My clinical experience spans private practice, community mental health, inpatient care, and assisted living settings, supporting individuals and relationships navigating trauma, severe mental illness, addiction, and geriatric mental health. Across all settings, I strive to bring steadiness, compassion, and respect for depth, trusting that healing emerges through relationship, honesty, and presence.
