I specialize in supporting clients in self-exploration, identity development, building self-compassion, and embracing neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, AuDH). As a queer & neurodivergent person myself, I strive to create an environment where people of all gender identities, attraction patterns, relational orientations, and neurotypes feel affirmed and can develop pride in who they are. My approach is rooted in empathy & non-judgmental acceptance and is built upon the practice of deep listening. Establishing a trusting relationship is my first priority, and I’m passionate about helping people build lives in alignment with their values.

Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about understanding you. You do not have to go through this alone.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to put words to what you’re experiencing, therapy can be a place where you finally get to exhale.
You might be holding everything together on the outside while feeling lost, disconnected, or heavy on the inside. That experience is more common than you realize — and it deserves care, not judgment. Starting now can matter as unspoken feelings tend to grow heavier when they are carried alone.

“I feel stuck…”, “My life is great except for…”, “I don’t know why I keep doing…” are often signs that past experiences have created deeply rooted patterns that are getting in your way in the present - without you understanding why. These old ways of coping may be keeping you from having fulfilling relationships, a rewarding career, finding joy and meaning in your life. Perhaps you feel the need to please others, or you've been told you're "too sensitive," leaving you with the emotional turmoil of self-doubt, whether you can be your authentic self. These habits can feel like a heavy weight, leaving you longing for something more.

Life can sure LIFE, right! The long “to do” list, the expectations from all those around you. The constant weight and pressure that can’t be explained or diminished. Feeling sad? Who has time to cry? "Not you!" You feel guilty for even thinking of taking a break, let alone self care. That irritable mood is lasting much longer than it used to these days and your family and friends are starting to call you out for it. That’s not who you are and that's not who you want to be. It feels like you are getting further and further away from yourself. If you can even remember who that is.

People have been telling you to "talk to someone" for a while. Even if you knew who to talk to you, you don't know what to say. Everybody seems to have an opinion about you, but nobody asks what you think. That trauma you don't want to talk about keeps you up at night. You're using substances and nobody knows. The littlest things seem to set you off and you end up saying or doing things you wish later you hadn't. Being a teenager is hard. Being a parent is much harder than you thought it would be. Your relationships seem to be on the brink. You feel alone and nobody really knows you. Something's got to change. But how?

I know reaching out for help can be daunting and overwhelming. I am here to make this process easier for you. My counseling style is strength-based, meaning I like to focus on the many positive traits you already possess and work collaboratively to reach the your goals. We are all searching for acceptance and understanding and I am here to help with that. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks, non-monogamous relationships, those that have experienced trauma, depression, and anxiety. EMDR and IFS tend to be protocols I use most often with clients. For teens, the youngest I serve is 17 years old.

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.
