Visit our website for online scheduling! I am a trans and queer therapist who is passionate about creating an open, healing space for clients to share their own unique story, learn more about their minds, and face life's challenges with confidence. I have 4 yrs of practice history with a wide range identities and diagnoses. I work with clients presenting with combination anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar disorder(s), ADHD, autism, and more. Much of my work aims to create space for my LGBTQIA+ clients explore identity as well as processing the lived and social experience of queerness.
My biggest goal is always to find a way to make therapy work for you. I believe in the power of storytelling as a way to organize our thoughts and experiences into shapes we can better understand. I enjoy helping my clients learn more about their brain and why it does the things it does— especially its habits that frustrate us the most!
Therapy is a love you send to future you. The sooner you reach out, the sooner they can receive your care and healing. I am eager to see clients from all corners of our community. If my services/schedule aren't sounding like right fit, I'd hate to leave you with a dead end, so I'd be happy to connect you to one of my beloved fellow Ellie clinicians. :)

I focus on practice methods that encourage investigating the connection between thoughts, emotions, beliefs, thought errors, and how all of these inspire our actions. We'll explore how the brain works and why it does the frustrating things it does including how trauma, survival skills, and brain chemistry play role, all to help in understanding the issues to better find your solutions.
