You feel deeply. You think deeply. But somewhere along the way, you were told that your depth was “too much.” That your softness wasn’t strong enough. That your emotions should be controlled and managed, instead of understood and celebrated.
You’ve been aching to make changes, but you’re worried everything might go wrong and will prove you’ve never been good enough anyway.
Let’s create a life you love.
Check out my website (“Watch Me Work With Clients” tab) for video examples of me working with clients! I’d love to help you, too.

I like working with neuro-spicy queer folks from all cultures and backgrounds.
Hi and welcome! If you like someone who is straightforward with a bit of dark humor, we’ll probably be a good fit and you’re in the right place. I love discussing things that range from the mundane to deep spiritual and philosophical concepts, whether it’s helping people through depressive slumps, anxieties, or all the changes associated with big life transitions. I feel that all problems are the problem and not the person themselves—regardless of neuro-alignment, gender, sexuality, race or age.

We humans are all too familiar with dismissing or ignoring our own feelings for the sake of others. Between work roles, kids, family stressors, and romantic partners, it can be very difficult to find time to tune into our own individual wants and needs. If you've realized that you don't always call the shots in your own life and you'd like that to change, there's meaningful work we can do together!

I also provide expert support for LGBTQIA individuals, grief, self-harm, and perfectionism.
Welcome! You’re here because you or your partner is hurting. Whether you’re dealing with "Big T" traumas like abuse or "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected, a part of us gets stuck when the "no-good-dirty-rotten-thing" happens. But you don’t have to stay there. I help you escape the grip of trauma, depression, and complex challenges like Bipolar disorder or navigating narcissism. We hold pain in our bodies as tension—a physical echo of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It no longer has to dictate how you love, parent, or work. I am here to help you move forward into the life you deserve.

Often clients come to me to work on healing from past attachment trauma that manifests as current relational issues
Many of my clients are part of the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kink communities or identify as artists, creators, and trailblazers—people who exist outside the mainstream, and are deeply committed to self-exploration and healing, exploring their identities, or deepening intimacy in their relationships.
I specialize in working with clients with attachment trauma, emotional avoidance, and relational wounds. I integrate narrative therapy, relational cultural theory, and IFS. My approach to healing is deeply relational. My approach is sex-positive, LGBTQ+, consensual non-monogamy and kink informed, as well as rooted in social justice advocacy.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
