I have a strong passion for working with both young people and adults, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community and those with neurodivergent identities. I find that I feel most useful when working with folks who are truly committed to their growth and healing, who are ready to do the hard work of exploring and challenging harmful beliefs and heavy burdens. It is an honor and a privilege to share space with my clients and to bear witness to their pain, vulnerability, and most of all their healing.

I am a commitment to healing mind, body, and spirit (whatever spirit means to you). As such, therapy with me may look like practices to get in touch with your body's inherent wisdom. To do this we may look at how your nervous system responds to the world around you. As a human existing with privileged and marginalized identities I strive to center my practice in Anti-Racist, Feminist, and Queer philosophy. This means that topics of oppression are welcome in my therapy room and that I follow your lead on what is important to you. If you want to explore queerness/kink/nonmonogamy or a therapist who gets it, I'm here.

Whatever the reason that brings you to treatment, I am prepared to support you in identifying and treating the root cause(s) of problems that you are facing. While you are the expert in your own life, I will use only evidence-based approaches in assisting your exploration in what underlies the challenges you face. Also, for most younger kids and families, I develop individualized treatment manuals, so that parents can be directly involved in the treatment process.

Transgender Therapists
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.
