Facing a new challenge, dealing with past hurt, or just trying to figure out the source of your distress? People seek therapy for a host of reasons, but at the root, we are often looking to live more fully, freely, and joyfully in a world that doesn’t always make space for us. I provide an affirming, anti-oppressive space where you can be heard, gain insight, and work toward meaningful, lasting change on your own terms. As a queer woman committed to liberatory healing, my work is informed by over two decades of experience in community-based mental health, harm reduction, and LGBTQ+ advocacy.
While I help people with a range of concerns, I have particular expertise working with LGBQ+ youth and adults, trans and gender expansive folks, as well as parents who are seeking to better understand and support their LGBTQ children. To meet the needs of a wide range of clients, I have advance training in EMDR, CBT, IFS and harm reduction psychotherapy.
I believe you are the expert in your own life; our collaboration will center your agency, wisdom, and resilience. Together, we’ll honor your lived experience, challenge the systems that have shaped your struggles, and cultivate the skills to navigate life with greater ease, There's no need to go through it alone - let's work together and see what can happen.
