Great to meet you!

Welcome! If you are seeking a down to earth and relaxed therapist- you are in the right place! I specialize in creating a safe and affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ communities- where I have lived experience, individuals navigating chronic illness and caregiving, and those impacted by hoarding behaviors. I understand how important it is to feel heard and validated, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as gender identity, transgender health, trauma, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, communication skills, an inner look at you and your home, and more. I write gender affirming care letters.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is from an intersectional perspective. My style is eclectic and tailored to each person’s unique needs because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The therapeutic alliance, built on trust and rapport, is key to positive outcomes in therapy with me. I strive to foster a warm, inclusive, and person-centered environment.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is different! My sessions are truly person-centered, safe, affirming, free from judgement, and a little unconventional. I bring a relaxed atmosphere and lighthearted sense of humor to even the heaviest topics. You’re welcome to attend sessions in your pajamas- my dogs may make an appearance from time to time. I'd love to connect with you!
