Are you a queer, trans, or neurodivergent person dealing with the hurt of discrimination, rejection, or the feeling that folks around you just don’t understand? Maybe you struggle with trauma symptoms, dissociation, anxiety, depression, self-blame, or low self-worth. It can be hard to get up the courage to come to therapy only to feel like you have to explain the basics of your identity to your therapist. Worse yet, it can be scary to seek therapy when the field of psychology has historically tried to keep us from being our authentic selves.
As a queer, trans, and neurodivergent therapist, I understand how hard it can be to find a therapist who understands what members of our communities go through. Instead of trying to change your authentic self to fit societal norms, we can work towards your individual goals, whatever your goals may be!
If you’re ready to start this journey towards healing, please contact me via email or phone. I'm not here to tell you who you are or who you need to become. I'm just here to support you, your relationship, or your family through this journey, whatever this journey may be.

I often begin by helping clients learn emotional mindfulness. Once clients are ready, I use a combination of Emotion Focused, Acceptance and Commitment, and Narrative therapies to help clients delve into their past experiences. During treatment, you'll learn how to listen to your emotions, experience them without overwhelm or dissociation, and develop the self-compassion needed to heal from hurt.
