Therapy for queers

we heal in relationship

Work with a therapist who gets it

be met where you are

I follow what is alive and important to you. Bring all of your weird, your woo, your queer, quirky, spicy self. I will walk with you along your healing journey, offering care, curiosity, and invitations to meet yourself. You are welcome exactly as you are.

heal your inner child

I offer guided, somatic explorations to meet and care for the multiplicity that is you, the vulnerable parts that carry wounding and those that protect and support you.

build your capacity to care for yourself

My hope is that through our work together you will experience more of your own agency and authenticity, and a greater sense of freedom, trust, and home within yourself. 

I believe we are incredibly adaptive and creative in the ways that we cope with and heal from traumatic experiences, and I am not interested in fixing you.

Accessibility

  • In person: I meet clients for in-person sessions in my office at the corner of Telegraph and 30th St.  The building is not wheelchair-accessible.  About half the time I have Joya, my small hypo-allergenic dog, with me in the office. 
  • COVID - I have a HEPA air filter running during sessions and tend to mask when COVID rates are higher (looking at SF wastewater).  I always have a mask with me and am willing to mask consistently if needed.  
  • Teletherapy: my zoom room has the option for captions and the chat function is always enabled.  I support your choice in how you would like to meet - including whether we meet over phone or zoom, whether you share verbally or in the chat, and whether you turn your video on or off. 
  • If you have any access needs that aren't mentioned here, please let me know.  For more info on access needs, see this resource and scroll to #10 on the list.

I offer a free 15-25 minute vibe-check zoom call to ask questions, get acquainted, and see if we'd be a good fit to begin therapy together.
