Be heard. Be seen. Be You. My ultimate goal as a clinician is to consistently provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, resourceful, constructive, and validating space for clients and their families.
As a therapist, I support clients as they navigate questions, challenges, and celebrations related to the emotional, psychological, social, legal and medical aspects of self-discovery. Providing counseling gives me a clinical lens that elevates the advocacy and consulting services I offer.
I specialize in providing professional training as well as policy and curriculum development relating to best affirming practices across a vast array of disciplines. So, whether you’re looking for counseling, consulting, and/or advocacy services, I look forward to receiving your email!

Quality mental health care needs to be accessible, especially for LGBTQIA people, and so I do my best to work with clients to help prevent finances from being a barrier to therapy.
