Hi! Finding a therapist who's the right fit for you can be such a rough process, right? I'll be as straightforward as possible: From me you can expect gentle honesty, flexibility, and lots of humor. I'm also super gay, super ADHD, anti capitalist, and body neutral. I've worked in mental health care for ten years focusing on the intersections of sex and trauma, as well as body size and trauma. Fat is not a bad word. I'm trained in EMDR and love it, but my goal is truly to meet you where you're at, pushing you just to your comfortable edge for growth.

I work with children of all ages and am in the process of becoming a Registered Play Therapist. I'm certified in AutPlay.

I also work with teens and adults within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities who are looking to get to know themselves and their relationships better. I also work with a lot of nerdy gamers and crafters- much like myself!

My expertise is in supporting folks of all identities in navigating religious trauma, spiritual abuse, deconstruction, and other high control group experiences (religious/non-religious) with specialization at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ identity.

I have been working as a psychotherapist since 2016, and I like helping people better manage living out their own sense of a valued life in a world that often doesn't make that easy. Trauma, anxiety, depression, and our own pasts often get in the way, and I help to better approach the internal barriers that often build up around our past, as well as with finding ways to better manage the difficulties life is constantly throwing our way.

Although good therapy is serious business it does not have to be grim! I'm very creative and flexible in my approach and view the therapeutic process as a series of hypotheses we explore together. I offer warmth, humor, and sharp analysis of the big picture as well as the details to help you identify what's holding you back and how to move forward differently in a clear, practicable way. In my office we will laugh a lot but we will also work very hard. More than just a psychological travel agent I strive to be a tour guide leader. Your journey is not my journey but I walk with you, in the muck with you, as you determine where to go.

I view life as story and the process of therapy as understanding and rewriting our stories. We all possess what we need to break patterns that are no longer serving us and sometimes we need a little help along the way. It can be difficult to create our own unique stories in a world that is constantly telling us who we should or shouldn’t be. My goal is to help you discover what is and is not working for you in your current story and support the cultivation of new possibilities alongside you to help you live as your most wild, healed, and authentic self. I take a gentle, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy.

I enjoy supporting individuals in finding balance and healthier relationships with themselves, others, and technology. Many people feel stuck personally and finding a balance with technology —this is common and often by design. When unbalanced, these patterns can contribute to anxiety, sadness, isolation, and dissatisfaction. I work collaboratively with clients to explore behaviors, values, and self-understanding while navigating the internal and external pressures of our modern, technology-driven world, with compassion and curiosity at the center of the work.

I provide a space for people to grow and heal into their most authentic selves. My work is rooted in anti-oppressive philosophies, and I understand the ways that the weight of our world can impact your mental health. For queer and trans people, BIPOC, and/or disabled people, it is especially important to have a space to process the grief and rage that might exist as a result of the current sociopolitical climate.

As a person of color, a transnational and transracial adoptee, and a member of the queer community, I understand the struggle of trying to find providers who share your identity. The struggle to feel truly seen and understood. My goal as a therapist is to not only help you feel seen, but to partner with you on your journey to fully see yourself. Therapy is self-discovery. It is an opportunity to lean into our strengths, process hard things, open ourselves up to new perspectives, and embrace the fullness of who we are. If you are looking for a space to unpack, process, heal, and dream, I would be honored to walk that path with you.

The world is on fire, I can't make it not be on fire, but I can give you tools, resources, a safe space to heal, mourn, and keep swimming. I primarily use a narrative approach to identify negative messages and beliefs that make you feel less than the beautiful you your soul has always been and replace them with realistic positive messages that align with your values, morals, and identity. I infuse humor, satire, and a healthy dose of sarcasm into therapy; I'll be your number one fan, and as such will gently and kindly push you out of your comfort zone to be the badass you are meant to be.

When it’s too hard to find words for your big emotions, experiences, dreams, and ideas, art therapy can be a vessel for new ways to express yourself and work towards healing. Some of my clients already consider themselves artists, but many of them don’t. Often, people come to me with harsh self-criticism, negative self-talk, and perfectionism (frequently stemming from internalized oppression, marginalization, and other traumatic experiences) that has kept them from exploring and developing their creativity and left them feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I love working with adults and teens of all backgrounds.

Now (as of 03/02/26) accepting new clients for virtual therapy. My specialty is helping people to get their painful emotions out of their way and on their side.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes. For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.
What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?
Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.
How can I find a non-binary therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit. During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
