1. Humans exist, heal, and thrive in systems.

   All of our experiences, values, and actions are a result of the systems we live in. These systems include our relationships (such as our friends, partners, and family) and broader contexts (such as our culture, identities, and community). To understand ourselves, heal from the past, and create meaning for the future, we must explore the impact and meaning of these systems—which will be different for everyone.

2. Emotions can be uncomfortable, but they are necessary for connection.

   Many of us were not raised to value our emotions let alone taught how to feel, express, and process them. From this, we often feel as if emotions should be avoided as they are unfamiliar and uncomfortable. However, tapping into our emotions is necessary for reconnecting with ourselves and for deepening connections with the people we care about. Much of the work in therapy will involve accepting the full spectrum of emotions to strengthen the relationship with yourself and others.

3. Each person’s uniqueness should be embraced and celebrated.

   As a neurodivergent queer person, learning to accept and love what makes me different has enabled me to live an authentic and fulfilling life. I hope the same for all of my clients. My therapy office is a space for you to show up as your unapologetic self. Everyone has a story that is uniquely theirs; I believe it is important to take the time to hear your story and cherish your individuality.

From a young age I have felt an innate desire to help people. Something else that has stuck with me throughout my life is an interest in sexuality and the many ways that it impacts individuals, relationships, and society.

I have long noticed that the topic of sex makes the majority of people uncomfortable and is not something that we learn about in an open and practical way. It always seemed weird to me that something as fundamental and universal to humanity was something that we don’t talk about, even with our sexual and/or romantic partners at times.

As someone who struggled with anxiety and depression throughout my teen years, I know the effect therapy can have on people’s lives and the importance of taking care of our mental health. Then, in an undergrad couples and family theory class I learned about the systemic approach to therapy and the field of sex therapy.

From here, I started my path to becoming a relationship and sex therapist as it combined my passion for sexuality and supporting mental health.

Working as an MFT is the perfect combination of the things I love and what I have to offer this world: helping others, being a lifelong learner and educator, advocating for sexual health, and using evidence-based practices to create change—all while holding the immense privilege of getting to work with clients and hear their stories.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing, crafting, and binging a new show. I am an avid animal lover, appreciate Colorado sunsets, and make sure to spend time with family and my partner.

This is a bit of my story, I look forward to hearing yours and assisting you on your journey of healing and growth.
