I have experience working with children, adolescents, families and aging adults. I have worked with clients in the school, home, office and nursing home settings.

Growing up in a small, midwestern town, I came to realize that we don't get nearly enough information on how to properly engage with one another in our relationships in healthy and fulfilling ways. As a queer and trans person, the lack of information was exponentially worse. As a therapist, I want to be there for people who recognize this and want to have better relationships with others and with themselves. I also want to be there especially for my fellow queer and transgender people given how lonely I felt thinking that there were no therapists like me. While I didn't get that, I want to BE that for others.

I enjoy creating a therapy space that people of all ages look forward to attending. I am a client-led therapist with a gentle, nurturing approach. The way I challenge my clients involves a way that is validating and reduces shame and guilt. This includes holding my clients accountable by utilizing compassion, empathy, and curiosity. I know how difficult it can be to make changes after repeating patterns and sticking to what we've always known. "Doing the work" isn't always easy, but when you start seeing changes in your life, you'll recognize it's worth.
