I'm passionate about serving communities of people who have been underserved, and possibly harmed, by the fields of counseling and psychology in the past including: the LGBTQ+ population, those with non-traditional relationship structures such as polyamory, the kink community, and neurodivergent individuals. I strive to make therapy a comfortable and safe environment for people of all cultures, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. I am trauma-informed, sex and kink- positive, and body-neutral. I value social justice and hold anti-racist, disability-informed, feminist values, that I carry through my work.

You might be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck carrying stress and responsibilities that have slowly become too heavy to manage alone. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions can make it difficult to feel grounded or fully connected to yourself and the people around you. At times, it may feel like you’re constantly trying to hold everything together while quietly struggling underneath the surface. You don’t have to navigate that alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel genuinely supported, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and meaningful change.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment.

I tend to draw from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, Attachment-based therapy, and Gender-affirming therapy, which means the session is usually collaborative, curious, and focused both on understanding your experience and identifying practical next steps.
As a clinician, I bring curiosity, creativity, and a sense of openness to the therapy room. My interests in art, roller skating, and travel reflect how I move through the world: with curiosity, adaptability, and an appreciation for growth through new experiences. I tend to approach therapy in a similar way: collaboratively, with room for exploration, creativity, and the understanding that meaningful change often happens step by step. In a first session, I focus on getting to know you! That means your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope might change.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
