My clients are those who find themselves "unlike" the "mainstream", this includes
LGBTQ
+, poly/open, and kink-focused relationships.
Whether you have years of experience or this is your first time considering it, therapy can seem daunting and scary. However, I am here to affirm that you are taking an important, brave step towards feeling healed, fulfilled, and satisfied in life. Some describe my style as warm, sincere, and (sometimes) humorous with purposeful, safe challenge. Our time together will be a safe space to work and challenge certain thoughts and behaviors that may not be serving you in achieving your goals. I offer compassion, support, and gentle collaboration in discovering your needs, desires, fears, and most true self.

As a
queer
BIPOC individual, my passion is working with other individuals, relationships, and family systems of the
queer
and or BIPOC community. If you grew up in a culture that viewed mental health as taboo, you may be feeling alone and hopeless. Know that you are not alone in your journey. I believe that people and relationships can thrive if given the proper support, nourishment, and environment. We are all given the same tools, but how helpful can it be if we were never taught how to use them? With some direction, non-judgement, and unconditional positive regard I believe people are capable of incredible things.

With my support, you will be able to explore and unpack the life experiences, narratives, and limiting beliefs that challenge you showing up exactly as you are in this world.

My clinical specialties include
LGBTQ
+ Issues, Eating, Exercise, and Body Image Disorders, Technology & Work/Life Imbalance, Anxiety, and Depression.
Psychotherapy is a process that allows us to explore how our thoughts, feelings and actions interact and influence one another. Through thoughtful questioning, healthy confrontation, and a lot of laughter (yes, a sense of humor is vital in this process), I will do my best to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. To me, therapy is an evolving, nurturing, and dynamic conversation that offers support and can lead to change and self-improvement. The process may be difficult at times, but ultimately, people walk away with an awareness of options for behaving, feeling, relating, or understanding differently.

Sometimes the state of our world can feel so scary and heartbreaking that we feel immobilized. Much of our potential is blocked by feeling overwhelmed by the day to day challenge of struggling to advocate for ourselves in our communities, the world, even in our own thoughts and beliefs! It is easy to feel anxious, alone and simultaneously at war with ourselves. I emphasize serving individuals that experience marginalized identities and see myself as your co-conspirator. I work with issues of identity and non-normative experiences, in the context of gender, sexuality as well as
queer
experience beyond that framework

I am LGBQ+,
Transgender
and Non-Binary affirming.
From navigating relationships, careers, identity, politics, culture; adulting is no small task for a person of any age..... let alone navigating overwhelming emotions, eating, sleeping and trauma on top of the energy it takes to get by on a daily basis. Some part of your life maybe feels elusive and takes a lot of extra energy...like being able to stay in relationships, be at peace in your body or satisfied with how you present yourself to the world. Therapy can be a helpful place to sort through all the messages that are unhelpful and get clear on what your real needs are.

Finding an authentic way to be ourselves in an incongruent time isn’t easy. Yet I believe that we are all entitled to do just that–to be ourselves in all our messy, creative, unfinished, work-in-progress glory. Creativity, movement, mindfulness, and nature, are all things we may draw on in our work together. I am passionate about working with members of the
LGBTQIA
+ community and view all of my work through an intersectional lens. I am also passionate about working with elders, neurodiverse folks, and those grieving a loss or facing a scary health diagnosis. If you’re ready to get started, I’m ready to meet you along the way.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
