You know you’ve outgrown parts of your life… but no one tells you what you’re supposed to do after that. Things that used to make sense don’t anymore. You’re walking around with this quiet (or annoyingly loud) thought; “I can’t keep doing this, but also... I don’t know what hell comes next.” Maybe you’re questioning your gender, maybe you're questioning everything. Being in this space feels like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with no instructions & three extra screws… except the furniture is your life and the screws are your sense of direction. If you’re in this space, I’m really glad you’re here. I’d love to work with you.
I help adults navigate transitions of all kinds; with honesty, humor, and an emphasis on real momentum. My style's warm, direct, and unapologetically irreverent; I’ll believe in you fiercely, hype you up, and I will lovingly call you out when you’re getting in your own way. Therapy with me is relational, deep, and designed to actually move your life forward.
Yes, starting therapy with a total stranger can feel scary; especially if you've had bad experiences in the past. And it can also be wildly transformative. I'm here to help whenever you're ready. Whether you're looking for therapy, or just a standalone assessment to get a letter for gender affirming healthcare, I'm here for you. Call or email me today.

I use a mixed bag of different therapeutic techniques. Most importantly, I emphasize a strong relational component to therapy, rooted in compassionate curiosity and humor. I firmly believe that if humans don't feel fully seen, heard and accepted by a therapist, they don't feel safe to fully engage and get the most benefit from it.
