Why I Do This Work:

In the gorgeous countryside, surrounded by trees and an incredible view of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Jefferson, I had come to know isolation intimately. I grew up with undiagnosed neurodiversity, questioning my gender and sexual orientation, and my religious and political views as compared to ones around me. I navigated the isolation I felt by watching how other people interacted. This cultivated a life-long fascination with people and systems, but eventually sexuality and relationships as I tried navigating my own sexual exploration. My own experiences led to a deep passion for extending a helping hand to those that didn’t have the support I wish I had growing up and embracing the healing capacities that community & close relationships bring.

My experiences coming into my neurodiversity as an adult has opened my eyes to the unique challenges I’ve faced and continue to face as I learn what it means to be me. My journey with diagnosis has also given me tools to help others navigate their unique journeys and I am eager to offer support to help you re-contextualize your experiences with new understanding.

My own exploration around queerness & kink cultivated a significant interest in helping others navigate their own sexual identities. Navigating a sex-negative world and intimate relationships can come with lots of challenges, which are further exacerbated by the various intersections of our identities. I’m here to support you through this exploration, with understanding for how complex it can be, so that you can feel fulfilled in your sexuality and relationship(s).

How I Do This Work:

Whether it's supporting you with individual or relational therapy, I’m here to help you navigate the nuances of your unique story. My goal is for therapy to be a supportive relationship in your life, in which you can explore the nuances of your story. I seek to understand and support you in a way that both validates your lived experiences while demanding a critical look at how we show up in relationships.

My approach is rooted primarily in Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy, which means I practice from a framework that seeks to develop mutually beneficial relationships. Together, we will explore where how you learned to be who you are today and how that influences your the good and the bad of your life. As such, my work is queer-and disability-affirming, anti-racist, intersectional, community-based, existential, and humble.

Whether navigating relational rupture and repair, identity exploration, sexual exploration, grief, and other demands of life, I seek to both hold you clients accountable and be held accountable by those I work with. If relationships are a two-way road, our therapeutic relationship should be too.

I look forward to getting to know you and I am honored to be given the opportunity to help you find meaning in your journey through the business of life.

I completed a bachelor’s degree in sociology, primarily focusing on concepts around queer masculinity, anti-queer rhetoric, and queer identity development. I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy with a focus in Sexuality at Lewis & Clark College.
