As a queer, creative, and trauma responsive therapist, I am passionate about nurturing an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ adults and youth, artists, and cnm clients where you can experience therapy as a brave space to continue exploring identity, sex, imagination, relationships, and everyday life. Trauma influences the body, and brain in complex ways and therefore sometimes in therapy we need to talk, and sometimes to pause, move, or create. As a musician, and with music therapy training, I understand the regulatory power of art and invite you to integrate expressive elements. I also offer music-centered & songwriting focused sessions. I believe trusting relationships, creativity, and community are at the heart of inner peace. I am informed by attachment theory, psychodynamic approach, and embrace the relational elements of healing. I offer you a compassionate, empathetic, playful, and non-judgmental space. I strive to approach therapeutic work through an anti-oppressive lens that is integrative, client centered, present moment, and social justice oriented. Recognizing the way trauma affects the nervous system, we can work together to be mindful of somatic and body centered approaches. I hope therapy can be a moment for you to relate, regulate, and create.
