Individual therapy for LGBTQ+ issues, identity concerns, neurodivergence, anxiety, and depression. I work through a person-centered, ACT, and trauma-informed lens.

In-person, walk-and-talk, and telehealth

I hope this space can help you begin to answer whether we might work well together. Being warm, caring, empathetic, and helpful is a core part of being a therapist, so I won’t emphasize those qualities here. In terms of my more unique clinical facets, I endeavor to be nonjudgmental even when not neutral. I’m high energy, whimsical, and mirthful in the counseling room. I am also skilled at verbally describing internal decision-making and emotional processes and have excellent pattern recognition and analytical skills.

Each individual comes to therapy with their own goals in mind and I’m here to work on whatever you feel would most benefit you. I especially enjoy supporting clients in discovering and supporting boundaries, building relationships and relationship agreements, and managing depression and suicidality.

I won’t judge you for consensual expressions of your identity and sexuality. I encourage LGBTQIA2-S people, people in consensual nonmonogamous relationships, BDSM/kink practitioners and community members, sex workers, and people living with chronic, severe depression and suicidality to reach out to me. I work with adults and partners. Please check my website for information about my availability for new self pay and insurance clients.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for those who have been marginalized because of their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bisexual, lesbian, gay, pansexual, asexual, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can explore the different parts of yourself without judgment. As a queer person who has sought out my own therapy, I know how difficult it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapeutic goals, know that every part of you will be affirmed in our work.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and anti-oppressive. My approach is integrative, using tools from a variety of therapeutic modalities—psychodynamic, relational, CBT, narrative—that are best suited to each unique client. In addition to specializing in identity, I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship issues.

Our work together will give you the space to process, heal, and grow. All aspects of your identity will be validated and nurtured in our sessions so that you can access the most authentic version of yourself. Please reach out if you have any questions about my work or therapy more broadly. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

I have personal and professional experience with LGBT2QIA+, fat, and neurodivergent populations and can provide psychoeducation on neurodivergence and how to manage and embrace different minds. Although I tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs and style, I often draw connections across all types of relationships and interactions in the client’s life, as well as their mind-body connection to increase insight, reduce shame, and promote healthy relationships. I believe in supporting clients with anxiety by exploring the roots of unhelpful thoughts and exploring meaning that emotions are trying to communicate. I have many years of experience supporting emerging adults and LGBTQIA+ folx through the major transitions and anxieties, assisting with identity exploration and development, navigating different relationships, and identifying goals and hopes for the future.

I work with a diversity of clients and consensual sexual health concerns. My specialties include sex therapy, erotic conflicts, and out-of-control sexual behavior.

My counseling focuses on empowered communication, secure attachment, and resilience. I help clients face challenges around jealousy, and develop compersion and metamour relationships. I work with primary couples in developing secure attachment so that they can open up their relationship in a healthy and supportive manner. I have trained deeply in Nonviolent Communication and help clients to communicate more effectively and efficiently, mediate conflicts, and heal wounding in relationships that need repair. I assist people in finding resources such as poly-affirming literature to empower their journey.

“No doubt some life shift has prompted you to consider looking for a therapist. Wondering if you really want to risk opening up your life details to a stranger? It is extremely difficult to find someone who is not viewing your life through the lens of their personal values. Obviously you need someone you feel comfortable with. Someone that will not judge you or deem you pathologically in need of "healing." When you are in the center of emotions that accompany your circumstances it can be be difficult to sort out how you want to focus your life energy. I will assist you as we examine your life choices in my beautiful, relaxing, non-judgmental environment. Our goal is you and what will best meet your needs." - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation
