About My Clients

I love working with folks experiencing relationship problems, gender identity issues, problems with sex and intimacy, and all of the emotions and thoughts that come with those challenges. I have a solid background working with individuals living with depression, anxiety, mood and personality disorders, and trauma. I want to help clients learn to accept their thoughts and emotions for what they are and learning to respond in a way that is more comfortable and progressive.

My Background and Approach

As a bisexual queer woman, I'm a real person who has real life experience. I have sat with my own pain and I often use self-disclosure as a way to build a connection with my clients. I believe that in order to work together successfully, we need to have a solid trust in the therapeutic relationship. Reach out! I'm here for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in leading with empathy, authenticity, and respect. Much of my work—and my life—is guided by the belief that meaningful connection and understanding can transform individuals and communities. I actively support mental health awareness and advocate for open conversations about well-being, inclusion, and diversity. I’m also passionate about sustainability and animal welfare, having many rescue animals myself. I strive to bring these same values of compassion and honesty into every interaction with my clients.
