As a nonbinary autistic therapist, I work with queer and neurodivergent kids, teens, adults, and couples seeking a therapist who understands their lived experience. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that are no longer serving them, overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, or depression, or seeking support for trauma. I also support folks exploring or navigating queer and neurodivergent identities. Together, we'll create a space grounded in safety and trust where you can deepen self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.

Did you recently get your child assessed for ADHD/Autism, and start to think "wait, all these things describe me, too?" Maybe you feel like those labels don't quite fit, but you've always felt "different?" I'm looking for adults (or older teens) who are just figuring out that they are neurodivergent, and would like some help navigating that (and all the change that comes with it). Together we can learn to understand your brain and how it works, to forgive yourself for not meeting every expectation of a neurotypical world, and to love (or at least accept) your unique self.

You might be questioning your relationship with substances or food, untangling beliefs that no longer fit, or trying to connect with a version of yourself that feels more honest.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that prevent you from thriving and succeeding in ways that deep down you know you can? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or intimacy feels hard or scary. Whether it's anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, relationship problems, self-harm, addictions, or something else, my guess is these patterns emerged from a need to cope or survive. As a queer person, I know how hard finding an affirming and non-judgmental therapist can be, especially if you are LGBTQ+. A therapist who meets you exactly where you are right now can be the first step to building the life you want!

I have experience in the LGBTQIA community and have attended workshops on supporting the transgender community.
Healing is a journey that starts by doing things differently. Sometimes we need help to make these changes, and by simply navigating to the is page, you've taken a brave step.
I believe we are a collection of our experiences. We learn to change our actions or suppress our feelings to fit the expectations of others. Sometimes, the culmination of these experiences can leave us feeling unbalanced, not ourselves. When we aren't living authentically, we yearn for change but aren’t sure how to make it happen.

This includes individual therapy, family therapy, evaluations for gender confirming surgery and coming out at school or work. I also help people of all genders heal from childhood trauma.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
