I entered the world of emotional support in 2008, first as a peer supporting loved ones through life events, then as a volunteer on a LGBTQ crisis hotline. Over the years my work evolved into sex educator, full spectrum doula, mental health case manager, trauma therapist, advocate for sex workers and survivors of human trafficking, and sex and gender therapist.  At the heart of all these experiences is the power of authentic presence in the body, compassionate witnessing of a person exactly as they are, and an insistence on our shared and innate human rights to safety, pleasure, and self determination. 

​

As a person with my own lived experiences of outsidership, I understand the traumatic impacts of oppression and stigma on every day life.  As a clinical social worker, my goal is to channel these parts of myself to facilitate authentic interactions that help humans access our potential for repair.  Now more than ever, the interpersonal and structural are interconnected.  Our collective well being depends on a million moments of liberation: every time we show up for ourselves or each other without shame.
