Great to meet you!

Currently, I am only accepting new clients who are trans.

I am a trans and queer LCSW and artist with 15 years of experience in community mental health. I completed my MSW and MA in Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. Before grad school, I worked in reproductive justice, body autonomy, and community care. Life experiences have led me to provide therapy with a focus on community care through an anti oppressive lens.

My approach to therapy

My approach is that all people deserve to have the opportunity to experience a safe, kind, and welcoming space to explore their mental health, and that as a therapist, it is my job to nurture that. I am driven to create therapeutic opportunities for people who want and need them within the LGBTQ2IA+ community. I am open to working with clients that find themselves in need of an understanding, compassionate, and community-oriented therapist who will help to guide them through healing work.

What you can expect from me

I believe helping one person can have a positive impact on the greater community surrounding them. I hope to help you find ways to help yourself so that you can leave sessions knowing how you can be a better community member to yourself and others.
