My Work I’m most passionate about what we typically call couples therapy, but which I like to think of as relational therapy – because as we know, relationships are beautifully complex and come in all forms – monogamous and consensually non-monogamous; romantic and platonic; sexual and asexual; made up of two people or more; lifelong or short-term or anything in between; long-distance or local. If you’re a human being in connection and you’re looking for support as you navigate that connection, you’re in the right place! ​I also love working with neurodivergent folks! I’m convinced that if the world made space for you in the same way it does for neurotypical folks, y’all would rule the world. While the therapeutic work often involves figuring out how to navigate a neurotypical world, it will never be about forcing you to fit into a neurotypical mold. There’s simply no need for that because there is absolutely nothing wrong with you! My Approach I take an eclectic approach to sessions, which means I draw from different therapeutic modalities to provide you the best care. Whichever approach we decide is best, you'll find that at my core, I'm a strength-based therapist. I can't help but see the wonderful things you're doing, and I love to help you see it too! I believe deeply in your freedom and agency, and to that end, you'll find I take a collaborative approach in which we combine our expertise to chart the course of our work together. If you're saying to yourself, "what expertise do I have? She's the therapist," don't forget - no one knows you and your experience better than you, and that makes you an expert too! ​I also believe in your right to receive services that meet your needs and your right to understand and question those services. Often, in therapy, clients know they can speak freely about the issues that brought them to therapy but are unsure about commenting on the therapist or the therapy itself. I'm here to assure you that you can comment! To that end, I invite you to ask questions and provide feedback about any and all aspects of the therapeutic experience. I never want you to sit in quiet discomfort or confusion; if you don't understand something or are unhappy with something that's happening in therapy, I want you to bring that to the table.
