Hi there! I specialize in sex therapy, trauma recovery, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I am passionate about helping individuals and couples reclaim intimacy, overcome past traumas, and navigate the complexities of OCD. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and develop the tools needed to thrive.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based techniques to support clients on their journey of personal growth. I work to help you understand how to use your own strengths and skills (or learn a couple of new ones) to redefine, and make reality, your version of who you want to be.

I have special interests working with the LGBTQ+ community, consensual non-monogamy, human potential/self-actualization, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
Life is complex. It can be difficult to gain clarity as to what we want... what we need... where we want to go. The human experience is unique, which is why I approach counseling with open curiosity, authenticity, acceptance, and radical presence to join those seeking to expand awareness and make meaningful change in a supportive, empowering space.

I strive to create a space that is queer + trans-affirming, anti-racist, and sex-positive, staying rooted in curiosity and care in every step of the way.
Are you feeling frozen by current political events? Are you looking for support navigating big emotions like anger, anxiety, grief, or depression? Do you care for others yet struggle to take care of yourself? I love working with people who are curious to understand their emotional patterns so that they can improve relationships, confidence, sense-of-self, and overall wellbeing. I’m especially passionate about helping those who care deeply about the world to find balance and purpose amidst seemingly endless setbacks.

You’ve followed all the rules and done everything ‘right,' but you still feel like something’s missing… and maybe, like something’s wrong with you. You’ve spent years trying to be who others needed you to be. You’ve pushed down your feelings, hidden the messy parts, and tried to be “good.” But lately, that old strategy is wearing thin. You’re tired of the mask, tired of feeling stuck, and wondering if this is really all there is. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you see that you were never broken. You don’t have to perform or pretend here.

My experiences, especially those gained while supporting my queer, Trans, Autistic family members, have greatly influenced my understanding of neurodiversity and gender diversity.
I view therapy as a partnership, not the kind of therapy where I’m talking at you or giving you unsolicited advice. Its about respecting your autonomy, building on your inherent strengths and interests. I take a collaborative approach to exploring how to get you to where you want to be. Making sure you feel seen, heard, respected, and most importantly safe.

I am especially committed to supporting neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ clients as they navigate questions related to gender, sexuality, and identity.
I provide therapy for teens (13+) and adults, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, self-advocacy, relationship challenges, and identity development. My approach integrates IFS to help you understand and accept different parts of yourself, ACT for values-based living and emotional acceptance, and DBT for coping and communication skills. I also offer Brainspotting in my practice to help with processing trauma. I offer a space to feel seen, supported, and empowered, and believe in everyone’s innate ability to create meaningful change.

Many of the adults I work with look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted on the inside. You may be managing ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence, carrying the weight of trauma, or wondering why life has always felt harder than it seems for everyone else. Holding it together for work or family while quietly struggling can be incredibly isolating. Therapy can be a place to finally make sense of those patterns and find relief.

I offer a collaborative therapy space to help you feel more in touch with what you deeply care about, feel more at ease and secure in yourself, feel more present in your life, and build your capacity to meet challenges with courage, humor and resilience.

Care and support are essential for living a full life, but support can present itself in many ways. Maybe you are seeking better coping skills, the resources to develop better boundaries or deal with conflict in a healthier way, or maybe you are simply seeking someone to listen and allow you the space to grow into the person that you want to be. I work with each client with the understanding that they have their own struggles and own way of needing support so that they can begin their journey to health and happiness. My approach is strengths-based, integrative, and inclusive.

My work centers those living at the intersections of systemic stress, soulful healing, and bold self-expression. My orientation is deeply trauma-informed, rooted in social justice, and responsive to the lived experiences of clients facing complex adversity or healing from complex trauma. With a background in performing arts and massage therapy, I integrate expressive arts and somatic embodiment practices in nearly every session to help clients reconnect with their inner world, build resilience through body awareness, and finally find sovereignty in their healing journey.

My clients often have ADHD, are high EQ men, and/or are queer or queer-allied, and more spiritual than religious.
I pay special attention to words people use to describe themselves and the situations, losses, and life transitions they are moving through. I then collaboratively identify with my clients thoughts and feelings that may need more acceptance and deeper exploration, and have my clients identify small steps toward which they want to start to take action.

You deserve a space where you can just be a human and take a deep breath. Whether you, your teen, or your child are navigating deep trauma, moving through grief and loss, or feeling stuck in a tough cycle of anxious thoughts, you don’t have to do it alone. I provide a relaxed, down-to-earth environment where we focus on leaning into your natural strengths and resilience. Together, we will tackle the hard stuff with plenty of warmth and zero judgment, putting down the heavy weights you've been carrying.

My focus areas include trauma, PTSD, shame, grief & loss, depression, anxiety, queer issues, and life transitions through an overall person-centered approach.
Do you feel empty, disconnected, ashamed, or like no one truly understands you? Difficult, traumatic, and challenging experiences are a normal part of being human and can cause us to end up feeling alone and isolated. I believe in the healing power of connection, where being truly seen, heard, and accepted by another empowers you to find a sense of wholeness and true acceptance of self. Through creating a collaborative, safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space, my goal is to walk with you into true connection with yourself and others, and to find a sense of deep resonance and healing within your heart and soul.

I’m a queer and neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about supporting members of my communities (and beyond!) in finding healing and transformation.
I blend relational, somatic, and parts work therapies in my work with clients. I’ll invite and guide you toward connecting with your inner wisdom, and together, we’ll gently uncover each layer of your inner world. Through our exploration, we’ll navigate and integrate the intricate connections between mind, body, spirit, and the external systems around you.

I have experience working with trauma, BIPOC, LGBTQIA folks, folks experiencing homelessness, and folks with severe & chronic mental health concerns.
Have you ever felt alone, tokenized, or shamed for being "different"? After so many of these experiences, you start shaming yourself and doubting your worth. Shame is sneaky and it can cause destruction within ourselves. You may not fully believe that you’re lovable, but you want to get there one day. There are many societal forces that keep us from connecting with our inner selves and the world around us. I’m passionate about equipping folks with the tools to navigate racial trauma and the effects of colonialism. I can support you to embrace self-love & confidence by encouraging connection with your authentic self.

Now accepting new clients. I help people figure out life’s messes, stressors, and everything in between. My mission is to create a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are; I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here to connect—not lecture. My style is laid-back, real, and sprinkled with humor (yes, therapy can actually be fun sometimes). I also offer faith-based counseling.

Trapped inside a life of depression and anxiety that doesn’t seem to have any escape? You find that your energy and motivation for life has diminished. You feel isolated and alone even though you have family and friends close to you. The voice you thought you had seems as though no one really hears it. You feel as though you are being ignored. Wanting to emerge from this life of torment as an empowered hopeful person is now your priority. The question is, where do you start in order to achieve this feat?

People usually find me when they have an intuitive awareness that something deeper is waiting for them. Life looks fine on the outside, yet inside there’s grief, uncertainty, exhaustion, or a longing for more meaning. My approach honors both emotional healing and spiritual connection. We listen for intuition and spirit guidance while gently exploring the psychological layers of your experience.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
