LGBTQ
The last thing you need to spend your energy on right now is whether it’s okay to talk about your life in therapy.
Supplementing lived experience with community and training, I ensure quality, affirming care for LGBTQ+ folks seeking therapy.

Unmasking? Exploring adaptations and accommodations? Hoping for therapy where you don’t need to perform the role of Good Patient? Just wanting to better understand yourself?
Whether you’re self-identified, formally diagnosed, or questioning everything— I want to work with you.
TrANSFORMING TRAUMA
Ancestral. Relational. Social. Systemic. Sometimes our experiences harden around us, keeping parts of us trapped in the past.
Through a gentle, collaborative approach, I support you in: getting to know the shape your survival has taken, broadening your capacity for rewarding relationships, and increasing your ability to be present for your life.
believe us, they say,
it is a serious thing
just to be alive
on this fresh morning
in this broken world.
