If you are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, OCD, etc.), or gender diverse ( transgender, non-binary, gender-queer, etc.), LGBTQIA+, relationship diverse (polyamory, non-monogamus, etc.), people of marginalized communities (non-white, PoC, multicultured, etc.) look no further. I believe in humanity and the human experience, and understand existing in a world that is not open to diversity and accpetance and how this leads to mental health overload. I will honor your unique culture or experience and provide you with ethical therapeutic treatment that meets your needs and culture.

Approximately 90% of my clients identify as transgender or non-binary.
I strive to be the most effective therapist I can be for my clients. For me, being effective means helping clients succeed in learning new skills, developing upon skills they already have, and reaching their goals. In other words, helping my clients get to a place where they don’t need my services anymore. Compassion for others and wanting to help people is what started me on the path to becoming a therapist, but seeing my clients grow stronger and succeed is what makes me want to come to work every day.

Many people have to choose between safety and living their lives authentically. Maybe you can relate; you hide parts of who you are to protect yourself from invalidation, discrimination, or rejection. We all need safe places and safe people. Therapy can provide that sense of safety to allow you to be who you truly are and empower you to move towards the life you want to live. It can be scary reaching out to a new therapist, and it can be a wonderful gift to yourself. I believe that you deserve kindness, peace of mind and support. Therapy can be the first step in your journey of self-acceptance and being your authentic self.

Are you experiencing an inner battle where who you are and who you wish to be, are in conflict? Do you carry shame, trauma, and secrets so deeply and feel unsafe exploring and healing these parts? Do you live an alternative lifestyle (LGBTQIA, Poly, Kink, BDSM) and do not know where to turn, to process the dynamics of your relationships, passions, and trauma?

We can all become bogged down by intense emotions that create a hurdle to our ability to function in life, most often at the detriment of success or being able to achieve what we feel are simple tasks in life. I work with clients to help them uncover and make sense of emotional barriers that have plagued them for far too long, often dismissed by others in their lives. Being accepted unconditionally, regardless of background, orientation, or presentation, in a therapeutic setting, you can find more personal potential and free yourself of the "rules" prescribed by the outside world and finally find yourself, the person that matters.

I have a passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community! As a member of the community myself, I know how difficult it can be to feel safe and understood by even a well-intentioned cis/het therapist. That being said, I believe life is best when we are living as our most authentic selves. You are worth building the life you have always wanted to live- and therapy can help! Whether it be learning healthy coping skills, gaining more clarity and ownership of your identity, processing past trauma to be more present, or building healthy relationships- whatever your mental health goals are, I would love to help.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment so that personal exploration, reflection, growth, and positive changes can occur. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, other clinicians/mental health professionals, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Seems like the world has gone a little crazy lately, right? Have you been feeling on edge, irritable, anxious, or hopeless? Maybe you worry that you can't be yourself because it might make you a target, or maybe you think that there is more bad than good around here. At times like this, I think it's more important than ever to have someone trustworthy to talk to. I may be biased, but there is a pretty good chance you'll find me to be a listening ear who is judgment and agenda free, who wants nothing more than to see you succeed in your goals.

What do you wish you could change? You may be frustrated because “if I could change it, I would have by now”. As a therapist I help clients work towards changing their lives. Whether it is a parent wanting to improve their relationship with their kids, a partner wanting to reconnect with their loved one, or an individual wanting to overcome the obstacle that has been in their way. I want to empower you to reach your goal.

As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
