Are you looking for therapy that actually understands you, not just clinically, but culturally and personally? At Wombat Mental Health Services, we provide affirming, community-based care for LGBTQIA2S+, Deaf, disabled, and BIPOC individuals. To get started, please complete our intake form here by checking out our website. This allows us to review your needs, verify insurance, and connect you with the right clinician.
Our team specializes in care that is often difficult to find in traditional systems, including:
• Gender-affirming therapy
• Trauma-informed and culturally responsive care
• Support for neurodivergent, Deaf, and disabled clients
• Relationship structures including polyamory and ENM
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We build care around you.
Having experienced firsthand the magic of culturally sensitive therapy, I'm dedicated to offering care that vibes with my clients' lives. I provide an inclusive, affirming, and delightfully queer alternative to traditional therapy. Join me in reimagining mental health care—safe, affirming, and healing for everyone!

Room for 1 More?
Room for One More? is an 8-week therapeutic gaming program designed for queer BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. Through collaborative games and tabletop RPGs, participants explore identity, resilience, and emotions in a supportive cohort. The program uses narrative therapy approaches, allowing members to reflect on their in-game and real-life challenges, build proactive coping strategies, and foster authentic connections. Weekly sessions include check-ins, gameplay, reflective discussions, and skill-building, all within a safe, affirming space. Reframing gaming as mindful self-care promotes relaxation, growth, and community, helping participants turn play into a powerful tool for healing and belonging.
