About

Perhaps you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless. But you're also feeling ready for change, which is why you're here. It's common to feel like our thoughts and emotions are in a confusing and tangled knot, whether we have experienced trauma, challenging family dynamics, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and/or other mental health challenges. What I can do is help you untangle the knot one thread at a time, make sense of these parts, and understand their origins and connections. Most importantly, together we can start to weave a new pattern that suits you, so you feel empowered to live an authentic and fulfilling life.

I specialize in LGBTQIA+ and am committed to gender-affirming practice. I can help you navigate the emotional, relational, and logistical challenges that often accompany being queer in a heteronormative and cisnormative society. As someone who identifies as queer myself, I bring both personal and clinical experience to this work.

It is always my goal to build a trusting, collaborative, and empathic relationship with my clients, so you can feel safe enough to be curious, self-aware, expressive, and hopeful. Above all, I approach every single client with genuine curiosity, acceptance, and respect. If you are considering reaching out for help, I'm here when you're ready.
