Welcome! I am so happy you're here. Are you feeling unsatisfied with how you respond in certain situations, or with certain people? Are you currently moving through a difficult transition, such as an identity shift (e.g. parenthood), a recent move, breakup or loss? Are you wanting support with forming different types of boundaries, finding your voice, or expressing your needs? Are you a couple or relationship needing support? These are just some of the areas that I frequently engage in, with my clients.

I specialize in helping people change behaviors that are harming their relationships and keeping them from living to their fullest potential. Together, we find what is causing anxiety, depression, irritability, or "the blahs." Many people have patterns in their behaviors or relationships that are stuck repeating and don't know why. Using evidence-based practices to inform our work, we can uncover what's underneath these symptoms to get you lasting relief. I also specialize in working with folks in the queer community, poly and open relationship issues.

Welcome to a space where healing is rooted in empathy, understanding, and genuine connection. As a firm believer in the power of human connection, I approach therapy with the understanding that we are all fundamentally human first. Whether you're traversing the challenges of youth, navigating the complexities of adulthood, or somewhere in between, my goal is to meet you where you are with empathy and compassion. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with authenticity and trust.

Welcome! My practice focuses on LGBTQIA+ issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationships. Before opening my practice I spent a number of years working in community mental health at a local nonprofit dedicated to serving LGBTQIA+ and HIV+ communities. This is where I learned just how special it is to work with queer & trans adults, adolescents, parents and families. An immense amount of healing can happen when there's space to explore identity, increase self-understanding, and process past experiences. My practice is queer & trans affirming, relational, collaborative, and celebratory of our collective resilience.

I am accepting clients for therapy, coaching, and testing. E-mail is the best way to reach me for a consultation.

I support clients in acknowledging and addressing shame, grief, trauma, and anxiety. I specialize in issues concerning gender, sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and identity. As your therapist, I act as a support working collaboratively alongside you to identify goals, action steps and interventions tailored specifically to your individual needs and identity.

I am passionate about supporting you in exploring what’s getting in the way of being your full self and having the connections you want. I provide psychotherapy to adult individuals, couples, and more than couples from a place of open-mindedness, curiosity, and sex-positivity, and an awareness that our lives don’t always unfold as expected. People who work well with me include those with liminal identities that may not fit neatly into boxes and who may feel like outsiders in some spaces.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a deeper awareness of their past, in order to understand themselves in the present and thrive in the future. I strive to create trusting relationships with my clients that allow us to work together collaboratively. I typically help clients with relational issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I utilize a LGBTQIA+ affirmative lens and fuse together a psychodynamic approach and when appropriate Attachment Focused EMDR to target traumas. I also enjoy working with couples who are looking to tune up their communication skills and make time to reconnect.

Seeking Feminist, body-neutral, LGBTQIA+ celebrating depth therapy? Culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality impact the stories we are told about who we are, can be & should be. These social narratives affect how we think about ourselves & require time, attention & care to unpack, process & heal. You’ve come to a point where you know old narratives aren’t serving you, they're playing out in your relationships, career, family, internal narrative & you want to create more joy, freedom & ease in your day to day. A feminist LGBTQIA+ affirming & celebrating lens can be healing, empowering, & liberating one for all identities!

I encourage clients to identify and move closer to what is really important in their lives. I've witnessed lasting change as clients become more secure, creative & alive.

I’ve learned that healing happens in relationship - within our own selves, with the kind presence of another, with our ancestors and guides, in the web of human community, and with the wild and tended earth.
