Welcome! I am a board-certified clinical, health, and sport psychologist who works with clients from diverse identities and lived experiences. If you are seeking support to better understand your gender, sexuality, or relationship identity, process past trauma, manage alcohol or drug use, or improve your sex or relationship functioning, I’m here to help. I also offer sport/mental performance consultation, support for healthcare workers, executive coaching, and guidance for individuals looking to explore their sociopolitical identity and place in society.
I specialize in anxiety, addiction, sexual health issues, sex and relationships, sport/mental performance, and trauma and PTSD. My expertise includes working with athletes, performers, professionals (e.g., healthcare, legal, executive), and LGBTQIA2S+ clients. I write pay-what-you-can WPATH letters!
I am committed to creating an identity-affirming and trauma-informed space for clients from all walks of life. If you're unsure whether we'd be a good fit, feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and we will figure it out together. If I am not the best fit for you, Unapologetic Psychology PLLC has other providers on staff to consider.
