Counseling Services
Do you feel like something is missing in your relationships with your body, the people you care about, the environment, or your sense of what life could feel like? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this by yourself. I believe that amidst the exhaustion, fear, and stress we may feel, we aren’t broken; we’re responding to the world through creative (and often complicated) adaptations. We’re doing the best we can with the tools we’ve learned so far, and our bodies have carried us through it all.
I offer individual counseling for people age 15+ and counseling for friends navigating relational complexity. People come to me to explore identity, relationships, existential grief, belonging, and what it means to be embodied in the world.
My clients are artists, musicians, storytellers, gamers, professionals, movement practitioners, and everything in between. You might be longing to feel more at home in your body, more in contact with the people and world around you, or more fully seen. Or you might not know what you’re looking for yet. We can begin there.
I am transgender, queer, kink, and poly affirming and am a Health at Every Size-aligned provider.

What is a session like?
Sessions with me are experiential, relational, and collaborative. I see the relationship we develop as an important part of the work itself. I'm as interested in your D&D campaign or record collection as I am in anything else that's alive for you.
We might talk, move, create art, work with dreams or imagination, go outside, or explore through play and creativity. My integrative approach is influenced by Processwork, somatics, depth and transpersonal psychology, and liberation psychology.
You don't need to know what you want from therapy when you arrive. We can begin with what's happening and follow what emerges together.
