I am a neurodivergent-affirming therapist who works with people who are ready to dive deep into their lives to understand their story and choose what they do next. I specialize in trauma-sensitive depth work with those who are counter cultural, gender nonconforming or trans, as well as poly and non-monogamous. To support those transitioning, I do offer reduced cost gender confirmation letters in a trans-affirming informed consent approach. I do not require ongoing therapy for those wanting only the letter.

I do well with individuals who are wanting more freedom and satisfaction in their lives. I know that most people do not know what to do or what is causing the pain in their lives. People need someone they feel comfortable with to assist them in identifying what is the cause of their suffering. I know how confusing and hopeless it can be to try to figure out what is wrong and how to "fix it". I provide a safe, comfortable environment where individuals can learn the skills necessary to transform patterns of confusion and suffering to peace and contentment.
