Along with treating afflictions like depression and anxiety, I specialize in working with clients who are managing complex emotions stemming from sexual trauma (assault and abuse), wanting to cultivate sexual satisfaction through kink exploration, dealing with the social stress of sex work, and looking for affirmative LGBTQ+ care.
I am passionate about working with clients to improve the quality of their relationship(s) by interrupting troublesome interactions and behaviors. This is typically done by analyzing how sexuality, gender, intimacy, and past trauma impact our perspectives and self-image. We will work collaboratively to build a trusting, compassionate, and sustainable therapeutic relationship. We will build a deeper understanding around the miscommunications that are an inherent part of life.

I have experience working with many clients who are LDS and I am LGBT+ affirmative.
Accepting new clients. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families via Telehealth (video) and view this process as a collaborative one. We all experience struggles in life. If you find that coping with these is proving more difficult than you thought (or strategies you have tried are not helping), you may want to consider therapy. I aim to provide a safe, empathic, and confidential atmosphere so that we can explore your concerns, away from your every day environment. You do not have to face life's challenges alone. It is truly an honor to listen to the experiences and stories my clients choose to share.

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.
