During my career, I have worked with both individual and group settings, including adults with people living with HIV, veterans, incarcerated people and transgender/gender variant individuals. These populations included people with depression, bi-polar disorder, personality disorders, anxiety, PTSD and depression. I co-facilitated a group for trans youth and co-coordinated it for 6 years. As a proud bisexual, trans man, I love to work with my LGBT communities. I celebrate kinky and poly people. I strive to be an imperfect ally to non-binary trans people and people of color. I take private pay/in person through findingnormalstl.com

My area of focus is working with children, youth and young adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
I believe that everyone, young and old, has a right to feel good about themselves. Sometimes, things happen in life that leave us feeling unprepared for the road ahead. We look in the mirror and are unhappy with what we see, past trauma can leave us vulnerable to the environment around us, or our bodies and our brains do not create a cohesive whole. That is when we need help in discovering who we are and how we want to live our lives.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides general therapy services to adult individuals. My approach to therapy is both humanistic and collaborative. I strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance, warmth, safety, and caring in my practice.

They don't have to be road blocks, it's what we do with them and how we use them to learn and grow to become a better partner and ally to each other and ourselves.

Sorting through all your thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming. Sometimes one emotion or thought takes over and drowns out everything else. I’m here to help you find clarity and peace in all of it. Therapy in my office is about amplifying your authentic voice over all the noise. Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent and love working with others who fall into this category (with or without an “official” diagnosis).

My approach is grounded in meeting folks where they are in the moment, and not asking them to feel, look, or act like someone they’re not. I believe that every person has worth and value because of their identity, and I love helping other people tap into their worth. I believe that all humans have the innate capacity to not only overcome difficult experiences, but to heal and thrive, and when we overcome difficult experiences or emotions, we are stronger and more resilient. Lasting change requires work, but when we put in that work we harness the power to define our experience rather than letting our experience define us.

On the outside it seems like you have it all together, but inside it feels like you are falling apart. You’re tired of lacking confidence in yourself and feeling alone in your struggles. You feel guilty about the frustration and overwhelm you feel each day. It’s like you’re the one carrying all the weight. You’ve worked hard for success, but you aren't living the authentic life you hoped for, and you’ve basically resigned yourself to the idea that you may never find the fulfillment in relationships that you’ve found in your career.

Immediate Availability - I'll contact you within 1 business day of an inquiry. Day after day, moment after moment, you feel stuck. Like you’re supposed to be going somewhere, but not really going anywhere. You’re successful, but the success hasn’t brought the purpose you were expecting it to. You feel like you should have it all together - and on the outside, it might even look that way. But on the inside? You feel so close to falling apart. You find yourself uncertain of who you are, exhausted by everyday life, and sometimes you even feel like an imposter.

My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Have you ever walked into a professional's office and felt like you had no say in your treatment? Have you ever felt that you had to educate your doctors or therapists on Queer issues? It's daunting and invalidating. I aim to create a safe environment where you are in charge of your treatment. As a therapist, I am here to help you navigate the treatment process with your goals at heart. Using person-centered therapy, EMDR, and art therapy, I hope to challenge you from a non-judgmental, trauma-informed framework to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD.
