Not accepting new clients
I am not currently accepting new clients. ... Welcome! It can be hard to recognize that you might have parts of your life that you have pushed aside or are uncomfortable with. It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge this & then to take the steps to reach out to someone for assistance. I believe in working as a partner with people to explore areas that cause difficulty, to build upon solutions that have previously worked, & to learn new skills to improve one's ability to cope. I enjoy getting to know the people I work with & finding solutions that are unique to them.

Sometimes there’s a moment where things stop lining up the way they used to and you can feel it, even if you can’t fully explain it yet. You might not have a clear name for it, or you might know exactly what it is but not know how to move forward. Either way, something isn’t sitting right; and it matters. I’ve worked with this kind of moment before, and it tends to become clearer once we slow it down and look at it directly. I tend to work with people in those moments. I help you see what’s actually going on so you can move forward in a way that fits, rather than forcing something that doesn’t.

In a world that rarely slows down enough for us to tend to our mental health, simply showing up for yourself takes courage. For those carrying the added weight of marginalized identities, that burden can feel even heavier. You deserve a space where you feel seen, celebrated, and supported.

I have five years of training in therapy with LGBTQ clients, folks living with HIV, and gender affirming care through my work at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Callen-Lorde Community Health Center.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for queer, POC, cross-cultural, and non-monogamous couples and partners to support intimacy through self-awareness and intentionality. You may be entering a new stage together, rebuilding after a rupture in trust, exploring non-monogamy, or seeking to deepen a strong connection.
Our closest connections can reveal subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways we tend to sabotage our relationships. These behaviors are often unconscious and can quietly serve to "protect" us from intimacy. As counterintuitive as this may sound, closeness is very vulnerable, and we do not always feel comfortable with this.

I also use a lot of metaphors, dad jokes, joy, and connection.

My ideal clients are looking to build more fulfilling relationships with themselves and the people in their lives—as this intersects with mental health journeys as BIPOC, queer and trans folks, polyamorous/CNM/ENM/RA folks, allies/accomplices, neurodiverse folks & people of all identities with feminist/social justice values. I help people dream and envision the lives they want—in their bodies, their sexuality, their healing, their relationships/friendships/families, their work, in their spheres of influence—and move towards them. I help people heal & grow from patterns that we formed out of survival or socialization.

Art is a powerful tool for healing! It can help resolve conflict, improve relationships, manage behaviors, reduce stress, and foster insight. It also offers the joy of creative expression. I strive to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and gently challenging. We might talk, make art, or blend approaches. You don’t need to be an artist; just open to exploring.
My ideal clients are curious + open to growth. They are navigating family conflict, identity, immigration, queerness, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, & are seeking creative, supportive healing. Therapy can be tender and hard, but it can also be fun & playful!

Do you care deeply for others, but rarely feel truly cared for yourself? Maybe you're the strong one, the one people turn to, but inside, you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or exhausted. You might crave intimacy or connection but still feel unseen, even in relationships. Maybe you've always been "the responsible one," but no one's ever held space for your story.
You could be navigating a major life transition- identity, parenting, loss, or change- and longing for somewhere to land. A place where you can stop performing and start becoming. A space where your full complexity is welcome, not too much.

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.
