Hello, I am excited to get to know you. I have been working in the mental health field for 14 years- mostly with clients with very serious symptoms who were also experiencing homelessness. I graduated with my master’s degree in 2021, and I have been working as a telehealth therapist ever since. I create a space for clients to talk about all the factors that impact their lives- whether that is finances, sex, politics, race, gender, or economics. I am a sex-positive, anti-racist, feminist, and queer clinician. Therapy should be a combination of unconditional acceptance, along with direct and clear feedback.

We work with couples, adults, and teenagers seeking relief from panic attacks, depression and suicidal thoughts, self harm, gender dysphoria, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma and PTSD.
You’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and searching for relief, and quite frankly, getting pretty desperate. That "best life" others seem to live feels just beyond reach, with a little progress one day, then sliding all the way back to where you started. It’s exhausting. You logically know you’ve overcome so much, but where is that strength everyone says you have? Together, we can foster compassion for the coping skills you’ve used to survive. These strategies deserve acknowledgment and appreciation because they have kept you alive.

Waitlist for new clients
I take a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from mindfulness, trauma-informed and gender-affirming care, narrative therapy, play therapy, feedback-informed treatment, and person-centered techniques.
My ideal clients are people who are ready to better understand themselves, their emotions, and their relationships. Many are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, or relationship challenges. They may feel overwhelmed by expectations, navigating change, or trying to find balance between caring for others and honoring their own needs.
What they’re seeking most is relief, understanding, and a sense of empowerment. a space where they can show up fully as themselves without judgment or pressure to fit into anyone else’s definition of who they should be.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
