About
I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2014, with an emphasis in LGBTQ mental health. Since then I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups; utilizing a sex-positive and queer-affirmative approach that also recognizes multicultural issues and intersectionality. I trained at Being Alive, a community clinic in West Hollywood providing health and wellness services to HIV+ gay and queer men. After relocating to San Francisco, I spent two years working at the SF Therapy Collective in the Castro neighborhood, which provides sliding-scale therapy services to the LGBTQ community. In 2016 I had the honor of being supervised by Dossie Easton, licensed MFT, life-long queer advocate, and co-author of the book “The Ethical Slut.” She oversaw my caseload until I became fully licensed in August of 2019. I am now fully dedicated to my own private practice, and also work as a Psychedelic Therapist with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at Polaris Insight Center in San Francisco.
