Sexuality should be celebrated! Society often makes it difficult for people to express themselves in this way, and therefore I try to offer a space for clients to freely explore all aspects of their sexuality without judgement. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to develop sexual communication skills, process shame associated with sexuality, and learn how to practice safer (more pleasurable) sex. I have experience with many types of clients, including LGBTQ+ people, femme-people, sex workers, and people discovering themselves later in life.

You’re exhausted from relying on perfectionism and people pleasing. You feel stuck when it comes to making decisions and trying to figure out what you like or want. You might totally understand why you act the way you do, but you’re still not feeling better. Or you’re ready to go a little deeper with yourself & process things from the past that keep affecting you in the present. Maybe you want space to process experiences in a spiritual setting that felt confusing or upsetting, examine your relationship with a religious organization, or explore the ways that your upbringing impacted your relationships and identity.

I was a traditional therapist for a decade; I now offer life & relationship coaching. It suits me to be so much more free & authentic! Coaching focuses on solving the current problems in your life; clients typically report feeling better after just a few sessions. Sometimes after just one! BUT it's not appropriate for everyone; I can't treat trauma or mood disorders. Coaching assumes you've done your therapy work already. If you're specifically looking for practical support for life, relationships, or work, check me out. You can easily book yourself on my calendar if it feels like a good fit, and I offer equitable fee options.

Everyone has a story to tell. Sometimes it is filled with dark twists and turns, shadows, and the unexpected. Other times it is full of light, gentle breezes, and warmth. Stories are often full of both and it can be daunting to try and revisit some of the harder chapters alone. I offer a place of solace for your stories. A place where we can open and read each chapter of it together, learn from them, and gather tools to face the battles ahead. A place where we can challenge the things that still haunt us from these stories, and then put them on a shelf, a reminder of where you came from and what you’ve overcome.

The choice to reach out for help is often one of the most difficult decisions. But it allows us to begin a new way of connecting that paves the way to change beyond what can be achieved through our regular, daily interactions. We all go through difficult situations in our lives when we feel stuck or are struggling to find our voice or identity. Counseling supplies an empathic and non-judgmental foundation for you to find whatever you're looking for.

When people think "therapist", they tend to picture someone who looks like Sigmund Freud, with a tweed jacket and half-rim glasses asking "And how does that make you feel?" Stuffy, awkward, and someone who's just out of touch. I can assure you, I am definitely Not That. Some of my adolescent clients (and my colleagues, honestly) have described me as "a purple-haired gremlin" and "a goblin in a spinny-chair". If you're ready to work with someone who brings a lot of authenticity and slightly less caffeine, look no further.

Making the choice to start therapy can feel daunting, but it can be a rewarding and healing experience. Therapy is a space where you can express thoughts and feelings without judgment. You can explore and heal, learn and observe, and work towards the goals and values that you identify as important. I assist people in discovering peace and comfort within their lives through acceptance skills, mindfulness practices, and self compassion, as well as exploring and healing from past experiences and traumas.

As a transgender therapist, one of my passions is working with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ population. I enjoy collaborating with individuals who are exploring their gender and/or sexual identities and hope to offer guidance and compassion as they let go of any residual societal expectations. I have undergone the entire process of hormones, top surgery, and bottom surgeries, and I am open with my clients about my experiences as we work to decrease their gender dysphoria and move toward the eventual goal of gender euphoria.

If you are navigating sexual, romantic, or emotional difficulties I am here to help. Struggling with identity and authenticity in a sex negative, stigmatizing society can be an isolating experience. You and any partners need an affirming space to explore the full bounds of your potential. A validating and inclusive space can help you feel comfortable questioning the social constructs and relational education you’ve received that may no longer serve you. You will receive guidance in existing confidently and finding the connection you seek. You deserve someone who is on your side, rooting for your success, whatever that may look like.

You're ready for therapy. Maybe you feel helpless, unworthy, unfulfilled, and anxious. Connection and joy are brief and seem out of reach. You are exhausted from unmet needs, chronic caretaking, traumatic triggers, or feelings of shame. You want to be known by your partner, friends, and community. You want to tell a new story with your life, nurture a space of inner peace, or return to the love you once felt in your relationship. You yearn to connect more authentically with your body, your world, and the people in it.
