I am a fully qualified integrative, transpersonal psychotherapist offering open-ended psychotherapy online. I work with people who are seeking to understand themselves more deeply — particularly those who feel there is something more to discover: a frustrated creative potential, a calling not yet uncovered, or a spiritual dimension to their experience that conventional therapy has not fully met. My practice is queer-, kink-, and ENM-friendly, and I bring a culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive lens to all my work. As someone who has lived through profound periods of uncertainty, creative recovery, and self-discovery, I am particularly drawn to working with people navigating similar territory. I also have significant experience working with trauma, including developmental and complex trauma, and have mentored with clinicians at Pink Therapy. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Sessions are currently available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays online via Zoom.
