I am an openly queer therapist specializing in trauma and gender/sexuality. I offer a down-to-earth, engaging, and evidence-based therapeutic experience. I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ adults struggling with their mental health, the impacts of complex trauma, and relationship issues. I am right for you if you're seeking an affirming and results-oriented therapist who also doesn't just listen. In our sessions, we often laugh together, and using evidence-based approaches like IFS, Attachment Theory, and ACT, we'll work collaboratively to help you live more joyfully and authentically.
I am well-versed in working within the queer community and have specialized training in trauma-informed therapy, neurobiology, and attachment theory. I offer a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ adults. Using IFS, narrative therapy, and ACT, I help you navigate trauma and identity issues, fostering a journey toward a more authentic and wholehearted life.
I understand the search to find a good therapist match can be daunting. My prior clients would describe me as warm, approachable, compassionate, and well-researched. In our work together, I will work alongside you to help you meet your goals. I consider this work to be a true privilege.
