As a queer, gender-expansive, and neurodivergent therapist, I deeply empathize with the diverse lived experiences of my clients. If you struggle with issues related to sexual health, eroticism, identity, self-doubt, overthinking, or harsh self-criticism, we might be a good fit!

I’m passionate about helping queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks let go of limiting cultural expectations, tune into what they truly want, and embrace self-kindness.

I help individuals who have learned to function through pain, battling long-standing patterns that haven’t shifted despite their best efforts. Many of my clients come in carrying doubts—wondering if therapy can really help their challenges or if they will just be misunderstood.

Accepting new clients! In sessions, we will explore the moments where words fall short but the need to be understood runs deep. We'll gently untangle patterns that keep you stuck, inviting space for vulnerability, reconnection, and deeper understanding. Clients come to therapy with diverse experiences and perspectives, and I believe the therapeutic process is most effective when it honors each individual's unique journey. Together, we will create a space to slow down, to hear the unspoken, hold the tender, and rediscover connection.

You may feel stuck in self-doubt, overthinking, or the quiet pressure to “have it all figured out.” You might struggle with confidence, imposter syndrome, or uncertainty about who you are or where you’re headed. Often, these challenges show up as anxiety, perfectionism, or difficulty trusting yourself and your choices. What you want is clarity, self-trust, and a steadier sense of direction—without having to perform, push, or become someone you’re not.

Hi, my name is Piper! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate, and I’m passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults. Many of the children, teens, and families I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed— whether by big emotions, behavioral challenges, school struggles, or changes at home like divorce or a recent diagnosis. Parents often share that their child seems withdrawn, anxious, or angry, and they’re unsure how to support them. They’re looking for someone who can truly see their child and help them feel understood.

Brian Davis LPC My approach to therapy can be summarized as being focused on the therapeutic relationship. warm, direct, and collaborative. As the therapeutic relationship grows, I at times challenge clients to grow; however, I believe communication should be bidirectional, and I insist on clients being allowed to challenge me back and have a voice on where we take treatment. In session, I often do attachment work which often powerfully helps clients to understand how their histories and relationships within their families of origin may be impact how they presently relate to themselves and others.

I believe that therapy can make a big difference in people's lives, and I feel privileged that I have the chance to be a part of others’ journeys.

A few of the populations that I have experience working with are the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and people who come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. I recognize the importance of factors outside of the therapy room that make us special and unique.
