About My Clients
As a queer, trans, non-binary human I will offer my lived experience and clinical expertise where appropriate to provide a safe and affirming space. Not only for queer people, but anyone who has ever felt alone or ‘other’. I have spent the better part of my life unlearning an enormous amount of harmful messages I received about what it means to be part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
My Background and Approach
I became a therapist because I know how hard it was for me to find a queer-competent and affirming mental healthcare provider when I needed it the most. Hearing we are ‘abnormal, non-traditional, sinful, and broken’ is a heavy burden to carry, especially if we internalize those messages. Add to that the struggles of living in a capitalistic, patriarchal, cisgender, heteronormative society enduring constant minority stress and oppression, and maybe you’re feeling exhausted, just like I was. Many of us in the LGBTQIA+ community have had to become the people we are today just so that we can survive. But I want you to be able to do MORE than that. I want you to be able to FULLY show up, authentically. Nothing is taboo or off limits here, including sex-related concerns and interests. Bring it ALL. We can dive in, and sort that sh!t out, together.
