I'm a witty transgender EMDRIA-Certified Therapist and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapist who works with LGBTQ+ adults navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and OCD. I use EMDR to treat the effects of childhood sexual abuse, religious shame and disfellowship, abandonment, perfectionism, and abusive relationships. As a participating professional member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and OCD Midwest, I remain engaged in current best practices in OCD treatment. I use ERP to help people break free from obsessions, compulsions, and the relentless pursuit of certainty.
I begin with a thorough assessment so we can custom-fit your treatment plan. Think of it as therapy couture! Both EMDR and ERP are structured and evidence-based treatment protocols for addressing mental health concerns in a way talk therapy cannot. Every intervention is chosen intentionally, based on your unique history, symptoms, and goals.
You've carried so much for so long. You deserve therapy that truly sees all of you—your story, your complexity, and your sass. I bring lived queer experience, expertise in EMDR and ERP, poly- and kink-aware care, and a fierce love for our extended community. If you're ready to feel deeply seen and supported, let's do the healing work together.

I treat trauma held in the body with EMDR and somatic tools, especially when rooted in identity wounds or chronic shame. For OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you face what feels urgent without obeying it. This isn't surface-level therapy. It's deliberate, collaborative work aimed at real repair so you can feel safer in your body and more secure in your relationships.
