Are you ready to experience therapy with someone who really "gets it"? I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community who has over 12 years experience working with the LGBTQIA+ population in therapy spaces. I am passionate about work with individuals aged 11+, addressing relationship challenges, gender identity exploration and "coming out", neurodiverse and queer partnerships, family dynamics related to gender identity and sexuality, and issues surrounding ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. I am actively anti-racist and continue to seek out trainings to recognize my own biases and blind spots.
I provide individual, relationship, and family therapy using systemic and attachment-centered approaches. I have extensive experience working with individuals and partners identifying as LGBTQIA+, including ENM and Polyamory. I am also specifically experienced in working with queer-identified youth and their parents in "building bridges of understanding".
I founded Horizons Marriage & Family Therapy to create a community resource for LGBTQIA+ mental health. I believe in providing a safe space where clients can trust their therapist to understand their experiences without fear of discrimination or re-traumatization. I take a non-hetero and non-cis-normative approach to treatment.
