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.
In our work together, relationships are central. I bring a trauma-informed approach to each session. I have a deep appreciation for the complexities of identity and how intersecting aspects of ourselves can shape new layers of understanding. I’m often described as patient, a bit quirky, witty, and kind.
When you reach out, know that I believe in the power of storytelling and the importance of positionality. The stories we tell ourselves are powerful, and I believe resilience is something we nurture at every stage of life. Know that I believe it is brave to reach out for support!
