If you are a queer person looking to manage anxiety, recover from religious trauma/religious harm, navigate relational and family problems, or just generally figure out life, you may be in the right place. I am a queer-identified, secular therapist who has also experienced religious harm. I’m into self-compassion, and balancing boundaries with deep connection. I believe laughter is healing, tears can be restorative, and swearing can be cathartic (sometimes all in one session!). So let’s chat. Visit my website for more info or Instagram at theagnostictherapist to get to know me.
My focus is on helping members of the LGBTQ+ community. Many of my clients are trans or nonbinary. I have a special interest in helping folks who are recovering from the adverse effects of religion. As someone who is both EXvangelical and a queer survivor of purity culture, I have a perspective that my clients often appreciate.
I am here, ready to meet you, and I want to help. I know it can be difficult to take that next step. AND - you’ll be so glad you did. Please reach out today. Even if I am not the right fit for you, I can possibly connect you with someone who is. Call, email, or you can book a free consult directly on my website.

I primarily work with my client to address anxiety, depression, to find an integrated sense of identity, and to heal religious harm. I help my clients develop self compassion and understanding, so they can carry themselves forward with the kindness they deserve but maybe didn't receive. We look at the past for context and understanding, but also implement practical change in the present.
