Parenting can feel like steering a small boat through a storm; one arm wrapped around your child, the other gripping the wheel, trying to chart a course through wind you can’t control.
If you’re a queer parent, you might be navigating more than just sleepless nights and snack negotiations. You might be unpacking your own upbringing, questioning how to protect your child from a world that never quite made room for you, and wondering how to build a village when yours feels scattered or uncertain.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a warm, intuitive therapist who works with queer families & couples, especially those raising young children while holding the complexities of identity, trauma, and hope. With a foundation in early childhood attachment and bonding, I help you tune into your own inner compass—so you can parent with presence.
You don’t have to do this alone. Even in the fog, there’s a path forward, and I’m here to walk it with you.
