I provide treatment to individuals, specializing in working with emerging adults and family members supporting those navigating that developmental stage. My experience emphasizes the significance of tailoring interventions to meet the diverse needs of each client. I will help you explore how your past is showing up in your present, and work to heal what is keeping you from living more authentically. I specialize in helping clients figure out where they’d like to see improvements in their lives. This could be related to many things including gender, sexuality, relationships, anxiety and depression, or emotional regulation.

Relationships are opportunities for growth and exploration and yet can be the sources of some of our most painful hurts and losses. Therapy itself is a relationship, and I aim to build one with clients that is healing and connective. I help people who often feel like they're "too much" or "not enough" better understand themselves. I make room for the tough stuff, the things that are often too big or difficult to talk about.

The clients I work with want to build self-confidence in finding and asserting their voice, break away from unhelpful patterns, heal from abuse and neglect, reparent their inner child, and reclaim their ancestral narratives. My areas of focus are trauma recovery, racial, sexual, gender identity development, childhood trauma, attachment, relational difficulties and anxiety. I am passionate about supporting the intersectionality of marginalized groups, including queer, trans, people of color, and children of immigrants.

Whether you are beginning, re-starting or continuing therapy, I recognize that this process requires both vulnerability and willingness to dig deep into concerns that can sometimes feel debilitating. Everyone deserves to work with a therapist who will meet you exactly where you are at; that will normalize your concerns and worries rather than meet them with judgment and an “alarmist” perspective. I will remind you that you, and only you, are the expert of your experiences. My role is that of a catalyst; for you to learn how to advocate for your own autonomy with independence and connect to your personal truth with authenticity.

I strive to provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental space that holds respect for the bravery each person displays when showing up to therapy. Together, we can make what may seem a daunting task into a powerful steppingstone toward the future. My therapeutic style places the relationship at the center of our work, because without trust, there can be little room for growth or healing. My primary focus is to strike a balance between maintaining a safe space for emotions and challenging you to meet your goals while facilitating self-empowerment and exploration.

As a neurodivergent queer transgender woman, I know how hard it can be to seek desperately needed help, only to be made unwelcome by the very professionals we trust to provide that help.

Are you or your teen struggling with navigating your identity? Have you experienced trauma, bullying, communication issues, self-harm, or suicidal ideation? Has your gender and/or sexuality impacted your mental health and you are wanting to learn how to embrace your most authentic self? Knowing how to navigate your own identity, or knowing how to support your child as they discover parts of who they are, can be a scary process. In order to embrace authenticity we need safety, security, and an ability to communicate. We will work together on finding healing, cultivating healthy communication, and creating a sense of safety.

I’m a queer-affirming therapist specializing in trauma and identity, and I feel deeply honored by the trust my clients place in me. I support people navigating life’s changes—loss, grief, transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression—and I’m continually inspired by their courage, resilience, and ability to find joy. Working with the queer and questioning community brings me profound fulfillment, and as an older, gender-expansive individual, I’m especially passionate about helping both young and older adults explore their identities. I also feel a unique connection to those who have experienced adoption.
