“We are not ashamed of who we are” (Sylvia Rivera). Living authentically comes with challenges. Prejudicial legislation, discriminatory public policy and intolerant societal messaging can complicate our personal journeys toward self-efficacy and peace-of-mind. My clinical focus is to affirm and advocate for clients who identify as LGBTQIA+. I take great pride in my community. I see your strengths and hope to serve as a source of reflective light.

We all need to be seen and understood, and it’s my goal to make therapy a space where that happens. I approach therapy from a place of getting that it's important to make sense of your experiences, know & feel that you are valid, & have a way to move forward feeling grounded in your authentic truth. I often work with people who have experienced trauma in relationships, a lack of emotional support in childhood, religious trauma, and marginalization. I can help with if you've been struggling to make changes you want in your life and relationships, have been overwhelmed by emotions, or don't ever know what you're even feeling.

I have a special interest in working with clients who are struggling with traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. My approach centers on the influence of sociocultural factors in people’s presenting concerns. I find that this approach helps clients better understand the nature of their symptoms. I've also helped clients explore their authentic selves in a deeper way whether it's around gender identity, sexual orientation, racial, and/or ethnic identities. You can expect that space will be made for us to uncover parts of you that need room to exist and want to be tended to.

Sometimes life is like putting furniture together: you have all the pieces, but it can be confusing to know where to start or how to fit everything together. The instructions can be unclear. You may be grappling with self-acceptance, feeling in control, interpersonal conflict, or the weight of past experiences. You need a space to understand yourself better and find your voice, and you desire a path toward a more fulfilling life—one where you can embrace your true identity and move beyond feelings of shame.

Neurodivergent and queer folks often go through life engaging with narratives rooted in shame and doubt. With diagnosis being a hard-to-access resource for ND people and queerness still facing cultural stigma, it can be difficult to find a therapist that feels safe to open up to. It can be even harder to find a therapist that understands those issues themselves, especially from their own lived experience.

My pronouns are ey/em/eir (but they/them works, too). I work primarily with queer persons to help them with mental health challenges at the unique intersections that are part of the LGBTQ+ identity. I specialize in issues of identity, gender, and sexuality, but I also bring a queer lens to our struggles with anxiety, depression, grief or anything that makes you less happy than you deserve to be. I work with young adults and adults, and with teens (and their families). I am not a good fit for people looking for couples counseling.
