We all go through times when we need a little extra support. Therapy can help us manage life’s challenges, whether we're looking to have healthier relationships, explore life goals, heal from trauma or grief, boost confidence and self esteem, cope with a loved one’s substance misuse or mental health, or manage career/academic stress. I am gender and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and support parents and siblings to better understand and support Trans or Non-Binary loved ones. I offer gender-confirming surgery evaluations and letters. Please note: I do not provide documentation for court, ESA, SSI/SSDI, or return-to-work.
Therapy is a personal journey, and I tailor my methods to fit your unique needs. Drawing on 20+ years of experience, I take an eclectic approach to help you achieve your goals. My informal style blends humor, gentle challenges, and genuine support. I work with individuals aged 16 to 60ish.
I offer a free, 15-minute introductory call to talk about your goals and make sure we are a good fit. Send me an email and we'll schedule some time to talk!

Therapy should be practical and useful, and focused on enjoying life. Therapy can take many forms depending on individual goals. I incorporate education, space to explore experiences and feelings, and support to resolve past traumas, manage current stresses, and build a successful future. The therapy space is affirmative for all gender identities, sexual orientations, body types, and expressions.
