Welcome! I’m a white, neurodivergent, nonbinary lesbian therapist. I’m LGBTQIA2S+ celebrating, trauma-focused, and social justice-oriented. Using an anti-oppressive lens, my work is informed by movements in anti-racism, queer theory, liberation psychology, and disability justice. My focus is queer and trans children, adolescents, and young adults who may be dealing with life transitions, and struggling to carry the weight of school or work. I love to work with autistic clients and individuals with other disabilities. I enjoy working with families who want to build trust, communication, and mutual respect.
I’ve gained experience as a school-based therapist along with providing therapy at intensive levels of care. I’ve also worked as a family therapist for over 6 years and focus on strengthening the parent-teen dynamic by helping build trust between family members. My private practice, Ivy Roots Psychotherapy can be found at www.ivyrootspsychotherapy.com.
As a client myself, I know the energy and motivation it takes to get to this step. When contacted, I'll add your name to my waitlist and reach out as space permits.
