I work with people who are asking deeper questions about love, intimacy, sexuality, and how they want to live. I support individuals, couples, polycules, and relational systems navigating attachment, desire, communication, consent, money, power, family, and change. Whether the challenge lies in relationships, identities, livelihoods, living arrangements, or geography, my work helps people navigate complexity and the agreements that shape our lives together.

I’m Byrd & I’m an openly queer, trans and non-binary therapist and Ayurvedic coach.
In our fast-paced society that rarely affords us the opportunity for introspection, I believe that therapy becomes the space in our lives where we can slow down, reflect, and tune into the wisdom residing within our bodies and our hearts. I am committed to co-creating this space where you may understand yourself more lovingly, connect with what you truly want and need, and create lasting change and peace in your life. We will celebrate your strengths as well as locate the fears, obstacles, and outgrown narratives keeping you from embodying your most authentic self.

I am particularly interested in exploring issues surrounding LGBTQ+ identities, including experiences intersecting with other positionalities including but not limited to healing from white-bodied supremacy.
Let’s collaborate so we can work together to support your ongoing healing and growth. I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself as an integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being (soma) and reprocessing what your soma holds. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you and learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.

You’ve spent years trying to outrun anxiety, overthinking, or that lingering fear of not being “good enough.” You function, you show up, you keep going – but deep down you feel tense, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t shake. Maybe old memories still live in your body, or certain triggers send you spiraling fast. You want real change, not another bandaid. You want to feel calm, clear, and finally free from the past so you can move forward feeling grounded, secure, and connected to yourself.

Are you looking for a therapist that feels relatable and like a real person? If you're anything like I was when I first saw a therapist as a young adult, you crave that authenticity from your counselor. I promise to never ask you "and how does that make you feel?" with a straight face. Don't get me wrong, I *will* ask about your feelings, but I'm not into going through the motions and acting a role. Do you want to spend the time and effort it takes to get down past surface symptoms to the real deep work, to be able to live more comfortably in your own skin, to be able to feel your emotions, not just think them? If so, contact me.

Feminism, queer/trans liberation and somatic connection are cornerstones of my approach to therapy.
If you’ve always felt like an outsider, black sheep, or one who doesn’t quite fit, you’re not alone. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, numbness, overwhelm or reactivity without understanding why, where it comes from or how to manage it. These patterns often have roots in past experiences, the external systems that formed you and how you learned to adapt. I aim to help clients make sense of their experiences, feel more grounded and reconnect with themselves in a way that feels real and sustainable.

Your decision to enter therapy is one I do not take lightly. At the same time, I operate from the stance that your problems are not the whole picture. As a therapist, I’m here to understand your dynamic fullness and complexity, beyond what diagnostic labels or pastel Instagram infographics might suggest. I’m less invested in what’s “wrong” with you and more drawn to what's most precious to you, even if you aren't totally sure what that is yet. Pain and uncertainty can become the lushest pathways to meaning. My hope is to offer a steady, honest space where your experiences and longings can be met with care, curiosity, and respect.

I am certified in both Somatic and LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychotherapy.
Seeking out therapy is a very heroic action in and of itself, perhaps your first proactive step into redefining your sense of self, creating a new life story, and taking a leap into the direction of self-care. If you are reading this, you may be in a state of uncertainty, or perhaps connected more deeply than you would like to be to the effects of depression, anxiety, or your daily life situations. Maybe, you are wrestling in a relationship with someone you love; perhaps, finding the words to communicate who you are and how you feel may seem unattainable and challenging at best.

If you’re tired of holding everything alone, your stories, your identities, your hurt, your resilience, you might be longing for a place where you can finally exhale. Maybe you want to feel less defined by pain, more connected to yourself, or more seen in the complexity of who you are. You deserve a space where you can explore, soften, and reclaim the parts of you that have gone quiet, a place where your whole self is welcomed and your experiences are honored.

As a therapist, I approach my work with warmth, humility, and curiosity. I view therapy as a collaborative experience, and as someone on my own mental health journey, I have a vast amount of respect and empathy for the folks I work with. While I prioritize the relationship and believe that all good work will begin with a strong connection, I do also like to focus on exploring concrete options for moving forward with a client’s goals. While therapy is certainly never easy, I do my best to create a therapeutic space that feels comfortable, non-judgmental, and hopefully at times even enjoyable.
