My psychotherapeutic work centers on cultivating internal awareness as a way of navigating life’s obstacles and transitions. Becoming more fully present can open pathways to inner clarity and facilitate shifts to longstanding behavioral patterns which no longer serve us. Attending to current thoughts and emotions reveal threads that lead back into our history, offering deeper self-understanding. I work with clients on issues such as neurodiversity, family of origin, spirituality and existential concerns, partner relationships and sexuality, and gender considerations. I also work with those struggling with addiction and trauma.

We live in a hectic and chaotic world, particularly now. Sometimes the tools we have just stop cutting it. Everything is suddenly a struggle.

I’m here to help

You feel stuck, distant from others, distant from your authentic self, and easily go back and forth from being overwhelmed to drained. You’ve reached a point where the “same old, same old” no longer feels bearable, finding yourself craving something more; A deeper connection with yourself, others, and the motivation to make a change happen even though you're still not sure what that ‘change’ is. Perhaps this is just the tip of the ice berg you find yourself on, and figuring out where to start can feel impossible. I see you, I see the weight you carry, and understand the grief.

I view the role of therapy as learning to look at yourself and the world through a lens of curiosity. We'll create a space where you can sit alongside your emotions as they surface, while tuning into the wisdom of your body in real time. It's through this process that stories are unearthed and we can begin the work of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

I view my job as reflecting the intriguing aspects of you, revealed in the important stories of your life. In this cooperative process, therapy is most effective when we explore the novel aspects of your life. You have made some tough decisions and interesting leaps. We should celebrate those and deconstruct how building your world has been possible. Looking out with a more panoramic view could often lead you to more potential choices. Living by your principles is the intention here. If you’re seeking a space where your stories will be honored and not pathologized, I’d be honored to connect with you.

This is a place where you can speak freely and discover different ways of being, grounded in anticolonial, liberatory principles. I work with people confronting crises or change, trans and queer people, neurodivergent people, and survivors.

Sometimes there are parts of ourselves, our desires, or our pasts that are difficult to share with others. This could be because of a lack of acceptance or support in your social world, and could be related to feelings of fear, shame, or disgust. I work with clients to build a relationship in which it is safe enough for clients to bring disowned parts of themselves into compassionate awareness as they develop a sense of wholeness. Throughout this deep internal work, I ask curious questions about environmental factors in order to support liberation from internalized oppression and self-blame.

People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel understood, supported, safe & connected. We want to feel good enough as we are, yet so many of us struggle to feel this way. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling numb or disconnected, uncertain or without purpose, or struggling in our relationships. We might be questioning the direction of our lives and/or need to find some hope, meaning or clarity. I'd like to explore these things with you and help you know yourself & your feelings & needs better.

Folx who align with my approach are often the misunderstood creative—the over-thinker who toggles between feeling “too much” & “not enough.” Too often labeled highly sensitive, they carry layered trauma, mask neurodivergence, navigate LGBTQIA2S+, queerness or gender identity, and feel outcast in most spaces. They seek a therapist whose own queer, non-binary, neurodivergent experience signals safety and compassion, while blending quirkiness and humor for balance. They long to understand their life more deeply, linking emotions to lived experience and honoring both as valid. To see themselves, and to be seen by another, as whole.

You may be in a phase of not knowing. Everything technically works, yet nothing feels quite right. You’re questioning your relationship with substances, your identity, your values, or why you’re suddenly ChatGPTing “Is this normal?” at 2 a.m.
Congratulations. You’re alive.

My ideal client is someone with a desire to be courageous enough to consider what change might look like in their life. While change can be both terrifying and daunting, it is also exhilarating and necessary to help in our journey of authenticity and self-empowerment.

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.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes. For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.
What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit. During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
