Biographical Info
I am a trans non-binary queer therapist and love working within the small community of San Francisco. I have a background in sex work. My private practice is home to a group of fabulous associate therapists specializing in serving QTBIPOC community.

My approach to therapy centers around empowerment, teamwork and demystifying the healing process. I believe you already have the inherent strengths you need to heal and together we'll work to untangle traumatic stories so you can feel whole and work towards what is truly important to you. In my healing work and throughout my life I am committed to dismantling patriarchy, white supremacy, and other toxic forms of power. In therapy with me, I understand you within the context of your environment as well as your personal story. Each therapy relationship is unique and I will tailor our sessions so it feels useful to you.

I draw from IFS, Mindfulness, Transpersonal Psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Somatic Awareness to support you. I am the former Clinical Director of Mental Health Services at St James Infirmary, a clinic for sex workers in the Tenderloin.
