I am not the typical therapist. I am the person people reach out to when things have not worked. When you have tried to do it the right way, had the conversations, done the therapy, and still find yourself in the same place.

Are you hoping to improve your relationship? Are you worried you may be "too much" for your partner? Maybe you want to be a better partner but don't know how to? I am trained in PACT Therapy (Psychobiological Approach to Couple's Therapy), and Gottman Therapy, two specialized approaches to couples therapy. I have found that integrating these two styles of therapy quickly gives couples insight to the causes of their conflict or disconnection, and tangible ways to fix it. This allows each partner to understand themselves and their partner, improving connectedness and relationship satisfaction and decreasing conflict intensity.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, addiction, and the complex life experiences that shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. I work with individuals who are navigating emotional pain, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break, whether that’s anxiety, depression, substance use, or the lingering impact of past experiences. A first session with me is structured, supportive, and focused on understanding your goals, history, and needs while building comfort and clarity.

Therapy is not a place to "fix" you. It is a place to make room for your full experience with curiosity, compassion, and learn to accept the parts you may want "fixed". I understand that making space for yourself can feel unfamiliar or even overwhelming; as so many of us are taught to prioritize everything and everyone before ourselves. You are not alone in feeling that setting aside time for yourself may feel unattainable. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable exactly as you are and help you in reflecting you are just as important as who you may be devoting your time and energy to.

I provide individual therapy for teens and adults, focusing on substance use and recovery, queer-related issues, and neurodivergent support.
Being truly seen and understood is at the heart of my work. My goal is to help you make sense of painful stories, patterns, and the different parts of yourself — parts that hold what couldn't be felt or processed at the time. I believe the relationship between us can become a place to notice old patterns as they show up, and to practice something different. I am particularly grateful to work with teens and adults from marginalized backgrounds, especially those who are LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, disabled, and neurodivergent, as well as those struggling with substance use and recovery.

Lucy in the Peanuts cartoon once said, "to be happy you also have to be sad sometimes; then you're really happy." I agree! Life is about engagement with all of your feelings. How do you relate to your life? Are you finding challenges, aliveness, connection to self and others? Do you have a sense of meaning or is life just something to get through? Are you living or just existing? I strive to assist clients in being closer, more alive, connected, and vibrant, embracing the highs and the lows of life with more balance and acceptance.

I specialize in sex therapy and work closely with the LGBTQIA and BDSM communities.
Now serving Tennessee and Colorado residents. Let’s be honest-therapy is uncomfortable! There’s no getting around that squirmy “I can’t believe I have to tell this stranger my problems” feeling. The only way to make progress is to move through those feelings. I am here to be by your side and guide you through the numerous emotions that come up in session. I admire my clients for their ability to face the challenges of therapy with veracity, strength, and sometimes humor. I’m here to make the therapy process marginally less uncomfortable by providing a safe, non-judgmental space along with my therapy dog Jasper.

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.
