Greetings beautiful humans! I am LGBTQ+, autistic, and ADHD. I share these identities as they inform and impact my worldview as well as my therapeutic process. I am passionate about working with people that share these identities, because I want you to feel seen, heard, and understood in a way that you might not find in the world on a regular basis. I also enjoy working with other communities that may feel ‘othered’ like people of color, polyamorous folx, vegans, atheists, sexual outsiders, sex workers, immigrants, and people from other cultures. I believe our differences make us unique and beautiful.

When I show up in the therapy room, I prefer to show up authentically and bring as much of myself to the session as possible, while still making the process all about your situation and struggles. I also strive to be warm and grounded in my own strength while we walk through your world. With relationships, I prefer collaboration with all working as a team.

I know various therapeutic modalities (e.g Internal Family Systems, ACT), but my goal is to co-create a plan with you that best fits who you are right now as I meet you. Motivation is a huge part of success. So, I try to pivot toward where the motivation is and what kind of process will work well with that. I can also do evaluations for autism and ADHD.

LGBTQIA clients will be affirmed as who they are, but I am also ready to help you figure out where you land, what the transition looks like, and how to come out that makes the most sense for you. With relationship issues, you bring your story and what you need to work through, and I will devise a plan to walk you through it and get you where you need to go. Codependency - work toward independence.
