About

If you are an LGBTQ misfit, I am the therapist for you. My objective is to create a consistent, trauma-informed setting for us to connect, share, and grow. My therapeutic concentrations include anxiety & depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, aging, and stress related to government & policy. I am a believer in using creative tools and stories to get our minds moving. I am especially a believer in the power of fresh air and am likely to ask if you would be interested in meeting in the park on a nice day. I love riding my bicycle and do sewing in my free time.

I am a practitioner of DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. There is a special place in my heart for transgender & nonbinary people. My style is relaxed, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship & healing through communication. I love a good metaphor and often use story to make sense of things.

If you have read this far, you likely have already determined that talk therapy is right for you. Still, it can be uncomfortable to embark on a new process and meet a new person. I encourage you in your journey and am glad you are seeking solutions. I look forward to hearing from you when the time is right.
