I work with clients (individuals and couples) seeking therapeutic support regarding relationship goals, and have specific training in intimacy challenges and how previous experiences affect our current relationships. I bring a sensitive therapeutic approach and utilize various methods to provide my clients with strategies and tools for understanding themselves. I create a safe and supportive space for non-judgmental and reflective growth. I feel that successful therapy involves identifying and bridging gaps between where we are and where we want to be.

I hold diagnostic privilege credentials allowing me to offer gender-affirming care letters.
I work with LGBTQIA+ adults recovering from strict upbringings navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, life transitions, and the (often invisible) wounds of relational trauma. Many of my clients are over-thinkers who’ve learned to survive by performing for others, disconnecting from their bodies, masking their needs, or constantly scanning for what’s “wrong” with them. Together, we’ll begin the gentle (and sometimes challenging!) work of building a loving relationship with yourself.

Something brought you here—maybe a pattern you can’t seem to exit, a relationship that keeps looping, or a sense that you’re living a life that no longer fits. You might be carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or religious trauma. You may understand yourself in many ways already and still feel stuck in something that keeps repeating. If you’re a queer or trans adult, this may also include navigating identity, relationships, or a world that hasn’t always made space for you.

Navigating life’s circumstances can be complicated and challenging. Although we must find the strength to get past the roadblocks in our lives, we don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help us get to know ourselves so that we can find new ways to respond when the pressure of modern living becomes too much. My aim as a therapist is to partner with you on a journey of self-discovery so that you can find satisfaction and thrive. I believe therapy can help us uncover subtle beliefs and patterns that shape our daily experiences. With greater awareness, we gain the tools to enact positive change and remodel relationships.

I am a queer, transmasculine psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience across psychiatric hospitals, schools, nonprofits, and private practice. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ adolescents and adults, particularly those that identify as trans or gender-non-conforming, and the parents of LGBTQ youth. I view therapy as a deeply collaborative process between clinician and patient, in which we work together to make meaning of recurring dynamics and interpersonal patterns, to allow for different ways of engaging with the present and future. As a therapist I am warm, empathetic, curious, and nonjudgemental.

I believe therapy begins with the person and what they are seeking from the therapeutic experience. Therapy can be transformational, but the key is what the changes are that you want in your life. We can explore that together and along the way nurture the self-compassion, self-acceptance, and satisfying relationships that let you thrive. My style is collaborative, warm, affirming, and non-pathologizing and my approach draws on relational, psychodynamic, strengths-based, narrative, and behavioral modalities.

I work primarily in individual therapy with LGBTQ individuals, neurodivergent folks, folks in the kink and non-monogamous/polyamorous communities, disabled folks, and sex workers. I offer relationship therapy as well (Non-monogamy and polyamory). I believe therapy is inherently political and am happy to share my personal identities with clients during a consultation call. I believe that therapists can hold safe boundaries for clients, while also encouraging transparency and authenticity of self.

This is the right time to explore what is keeping you anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or quietly wondering, is this it? You're craving more than survival mode. You want space to breathe, feel, and remember who you are without needing to fix everything overnight.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
