I am honored to build an affirmative practice that brings in-depth, contemporary, relational psychotherapy to my community. I hope to build therapeutic relationships that encourage my clients to process and fully experience emotions, move through depression and anxiety, and re-frame negative thoughts and patterns with a deeper understanding of their origins. Together, we engage bravely (and playfully) with unexamined thoughts, feelings and experiences!

We work with people from all walks of life, including transgender, non-binary, and questioning people of all ages. Our providers have a special passion for working with people in the LGBTQ+ community. We specialize in helping people navigate the challenges of understanding the intersections of their identity, relationships, and the larger world. For youth (and adults too!), we can offer specialized creative approaches that support healing and identity exploration when talking is too hard.

I am a white, bisexual, non-binary, non-monogamous, and neuroqueer therapist working at the intersections of oppression, grief, trauma, liberation, and pleasure. I strive to create an environment where all parts of you are welcome. I serve individuals needing support to better survive and thrive while living in a world full of trauma. Together we can co-create a brave and curious space for you to ground into what matters most to you. I work to hold a space that centers your dignity and wholeness, inviting in the wisdom of your body, your mind, your life story, the earth, your ancestry, and your cultures of origin.

Are you in a place where you need to talk about gender identity and/or trans issues? Or maybe you identify as trans, gender nonconforming, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or queer and need to talk about other issues but don't want to have to educate your therapist. I can help. As a therapist, I create an environment of safety, respect, and empowerment for you, and I appreciate the powerful influence of culture, community, and beliefs that make your experience unique. I believe you have the inner strength and resources you need. I am here to be your collaborator in healing and change.

Life transitions bring new opportunities for personal growth, communication development, and emotional connectedness. With couples & families, our approach is to deepen the bond by focusing more effective communication while understanding the needs of the relationship, Individual therapy centers from life experiences of resilience & strength, redefinition of self, challenges around family history, or a recognition of new life boundaries. As we work with younger clients, we utilize interventions in our play therapy room to provide an environment open and welcoming to the needs of everyone.

Let me help you live your life with purpose and fulfillment. I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach to the therapeutic process. I have over twenty years of experience in the field of psychology. I have experience treating a number of emotional and behavioral issues. My ideal client is one who is motivated in regard to the psychotherapy process. An individual who is open and willing to commit an agreed amount of time to participate in some intense psychotherapy to reduce symptoms or gain insight.

I work with persons who are having adjustment difficulties, and who experience stress and anxiety while making life transitions. I treat sexual difficulties or lifestyle issues from a sex positive perspective. I work with wishing to change specific habits (smoking, overeating, etc.); or to reduce stress and anxiety. I also work with those who have culturally unpopular or unsupported life styles, and who experience conflict, marginalization, or disempowerment.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. My ideal client would be an LGBTQIA2S+ child, adolescent, or young adult needing support with identity exploration and acceptance. I want to support clients working through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, complex trauma, and gender dysphoria to promote their wellbeing. I use she/they pronouns and am in the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and relational. I work with you to establish a sense of safety so that you can explore your edges and grow into the parts of yourself that you are ready to embody. We will help cultivate the wisest parts of yourself, uncovering a foundation that will support you in your daily life and work outside of our sessions.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families to co-create change. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that problems are created and healed in relationships. Therefore, I strive to create a supportive space where connections can be explored and enhanced. I value counseling others with acceptance, authenticity, empathy, and good humor. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you take an active role in your own well-being!

I work with folx with chronic illness, disability, and C-PTSD through individual counseling for adults and age 14+; family/couples counseling for working with chronic illness within relationships. Other issues include depression, anxiety, life transitions including end of life, grief, ADHD, career and empowerment, creativity and expression, identity issues, performance enhancement, sexuality, spiritual explorations. My style is warm, direct, lively, and compassionate. I challenge clients to step out of their comfort zones and see therapy not as an end in itself, but as a means to develop a full life, even if illness is part of it.

As a Queer and Non-binary supervisor I use feminist, mindfulness and strengths-based approaches to supervise from a social justice oriented lens. I also strive to help my supervisees in their own career development— especially as it concerns how to make a good living while keeping therapy accessible within the context of private practice.

I support my clients to find safety, rest, and joy within themselves, often in the midst of very challenging circumstances. I work with folks healing from trauma – especially childhood, religious, sexual, and relational traumas – those exploring their authentic identities, and those who want support in life transitions large and small. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience. Together we will create a space where you can explore deeper layers of your experience, to understand, and potentially reframe, strategies that no longer serve you, and to take steps towards a richer connection with yourself and others.

We work to create new awareness, new knowledge and new possibilities. You can have an empowered family and a happy state of mind through therapy. I work with individuals and families to build harmony and health in their relationships. I specialize in sex therapy and am an effective life coach. I approach each person and family with attention to mental and physical health, with consideration to relational, social and spiritual influences.

I provide mental health counseling and wellness coaching services that offer a safe space and professional support to those that want to work towards mental wellness by creating balance, internally and externally. It uses a three part system to help people from all walks of life build skills, develop sustainable routines, and engage in deep healing work so they can enjoy their life, calmly and confidently. I’m body positive, sex and kink positive, and I affirm disabled, BIPOC, trans, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Sometimes you go through an experience and it completely changes your life, and sometimes all the little stresses add up to one big obstacle. Either way, nothing feels as good as it used to, and you constantly find yourself trapped in the past or worrying about the future. You deserve a life that's free of constant emotional turmoil, and therapy can be a way to process unwanted memories, emotions, and thoughts. I won't promise you that the entire process of therapy will be easy, and I won't tell you that I can fix you; you are not a problem to be solved. What I can do is move alongside you as you shift toward the life you want.

I support clients navigating grief, relationship challenges, and those seeking neurodiversity-affirming support. Those who have experienced pain, disappointment, and distress from experiences in faith communities are especially drawn to my work. It is also important to acknowledge how isolating it can be to pause, deconstruct, or reconsider long-held beliefs or spiritual practices that once held a lot of hope and meaning. Or, to simply explore how embracing your full humanity and identity can be celebrated after experiences of being shamed for those aspects of you.
