Affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and relationship concerns—helping you build clarity, connection, and confidence.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Tacoma, WA

About My Clients

I work best with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, neurodivergence, and personal growth. I also support people exploring gender identity, consensual non-monogamy, and nontraditional relationships. My clients are often seeking a therapist who is affirming, collaborative, and committed to helping them create meaningful, authentic lives.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to providing affirming, evidence-based care for individuals, couples, and families. My clinical work focuses on LGBTQIA+ mental health, gender identity exploration, relationship and marriage counseling, anxiety, life transitions, and neurodiversity. I strive to create a welcoming space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered to explore challenges without judgment. My approach integrates proven therapeutic techniques with genuine curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I believe therapy works best when it is tailored to each person's unique experiences, values, and goals. Whether you're working through a difficult transition, strengthening relationships, or seeking greater self-understanding, I aim to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person deserves a space where they can show up authentically and be met with respect, dignity, and compassion. Therapy is not about fixing people, it's about helping them better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create lives that align with their values. I affirm diverse identities, relationships, and ways of experiencing the world. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, strengthen their relationships, and move toward meaningful growth while honoring who they are. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to explore, challenge old patterns, and embrace their authentic selves.
