Do you need a relationship expert who can help you and your partner feel closer, connect, resolve conflict, and communicate better? Are you looking for a queer therapist who's LGBTQ+ affirming and knows the ins and outs of working with queer people? Are you stuck in old patterns and need help building attachment security, self-compassion, coping skills, and empowerment? As a licensed, PhD-level therapist, I have years of experience working with couples, individuals, and families across diverse backgrounds to overcome challenges. Providing compassionate, affirming therapy is important to me personally and professionally.
I use research-based methods such as EMDR, ERP, CBT, self-compassion, DBT, and Gottman Method Therapy to help you cope effectively, strengthen your relationship, and build resiliency. I've had years of training in the WPATH Standards of Care and experience with relationship challenges, identity exploration, coping with gender dysphoria, and microaggressions.
It can feel vulnerable to open your life up to another person. I take pride in my ability to nurture warm, supportive relationships and to provide an atmosphere that helps you to feel empowered, respected, understood, and ready to change. I would be honored to walk with you on your path toward healing!
