My Values


  • Social Justice

    I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space. Folx of all racial and ethnic identities, gender identities, sexual orientations, levels of education, health and ability statuses, religious backgrounds, political beliefs, and citizenship statuses are welcome here. In my practice, I invite open conversations about the ways in which my identities and those of my clients impact the therapeutic experience.

  • Accessibility

    I respect the reality that mental health care looks different for each individual and that many need accommodations in order to access services. I offer a sliding scale when possible and offer remote therapy for clients who prefer online sessions. Feel free to reach out to me about any concerns regarding accessing my services. 

  • Open-Mindedness

    At my practice you will be met with ethical curiosity. I genuinely want to learn more about you and how you experience, understand, and interact with the world around you. That said, I do not expect you to educate me me about your life in any way that does not clearly serve you. While effective therapy often involves expanding your thinking and trying new behaviors to support your healing process, I have no interest in changing your values, belief systems, or anything else that makes you, you.

  • Authenticity

    It is important that clients feel safe to express themselves openly and honestly, and in return receive open and honest feedback from their therapist. That said, I know it takes time to build trust with a new therapist. It is my hope that as our relationship grows, you will come to feel more comfortable speaking your truth and, as a result, get the most out of therapy.

  • Sex Positivity

    Sex positivity is about normalizing sexual thoughts and behaviors as part of the human experience. Sexual identity, expression, and connection can be sources of joy and health, though one may also feel fulfilled without being sexually active or feeling that sexuality is particularly important to them. If you have been in an environment in which your sexuality is viewed as shameful, incomplete, or wrong, you can find space at my practice in which you can begin to experience your sexuality as a source of wellness, pleasure, and empowerment.

  • Holistic Perspective

    My focus is less on symptom relief alone and more on the wellness of the whole person in their relationship with themselves, others, and the world. I utilize a relational-cultural, intersectional feminist lens to create opportunities to explore how larger sociocultural systems impact mental, physical, relational, sexual, communal, and spiritual wellness.
