The world is a complicated place. As a nonbinary gay person from the Midwest, I’ve spent a great deal of time unlearning harmful beliefs. My own therapy made such an impact on me that I made a career change in my 30’s from the arts and education, to therapist. My through line in life I discovered was people, and my passion is to assist people who might be feeling similar to how I've felt. I'm proud of the diverse population I work with. You don't have to be a member of the LGBTQ community to see a therapist who is. I find we are beautifully unique, and yet have a lot more in common than we know.
I work with over achievers who've lost themselves while succeeding and wonder "whats next? I work with young adults finding their way into the world. I work with people experiencing various forms of grief, or chronic illness. I provide therapy for childhood trauma survivors who struggle with people-pleasing and want to set healthy boundaries without guilt.
If you are curious about therapy, I invite you to be just that — curious. No more, no less. A quote I love and believe in “Through the greatest confusion comes the greatest clarity." The pic with the doggie is my ESA therapy dog Stevie Nicks.
