I have a passion for supporting LGBTQ+ and particularly Trans and Non-Binary adults and adolescents. My approach is rooted in the belief that you are you who you say you are, and if you're still exploring, we can be curious together in discovering your authentic self. Exploring identities like gender and sexuality may be a focus, and we can also work on goals like coping with symptoms of depression and anxiety, managing PTSD symptoms, and embracing what makes you uniquely you. Many of my clients identify as neurodiverse, which can can add an additional layer of stress in a world designed for "neurotypical" folks.

Whether due to stress outside the relationship, wanting to feel closer to each other, or repairing a rupture from cheating, I can support you through your relationship journey. As a marriage and family therapist, I firmly believe in the transformative power of relationships, but that doesn’t mean they are easy to navigate alone. All relationship orientations are welcome- dating, married, nonmonagamous/poly — I have experience working with these. I’m aware of the societal shame towards poly folks and my practice works to undo any shame in relationship counseling.

I tend to work with folks who create their own paths in life - ones that may diverge from the norm. Oftentimes, these paths emerge from a place of necessity, without much support, and lacking a roadmap or guide.

We all deserve space to be our full selves. I view my role as therapist as a co-explorer – I walk alongside you as you navigate your authentic experience of this world. In session, we follow what feels present for you in the moment and approach what arises with curiosity. This mindful awareness helps us meet and build relationship with more “parts” of you. I aim to allow all of you in. Eventually, this process of being “more you” can lead to a more grounded and connected existence, one in which you find yourself with more choice, agency, and fulfillment in life.
