I am ecstatic to provide mental health support through authentic, affirming, and aware relationships that embody connection, safety, and warmth. I strive to build genuine connections with my clients by understanding their personal motivators for acceptance and change, and building trust by reinforcing their goals rather than my own agenda. Authentic. Affirming. Aware. QUEER THERAPY WITH A QUEER THERAPIST I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree from University of Missouri- St. Louis in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies and a Minor in Political Science. I then attended Maternidad La Luz Midwifery School to receive a Certificate in Midwifery. I received my Master’s in Social Work through the University of Denver. I additionally completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Sex Therapy from the Council for Relationships in Philadelphia and a virtual Queer and Trans Internal Family Systems Level 1 training.
