About My Clients

Being part of the LGBTQ+ community can be beautiful, exciting, challenging, and heartbreaking which makes finding a LGBTQ+ friendly therapist that much more important. You might be questioning your sexuality. You might wonder where you fit in. You might simultaneously love your queer life, but feel like an outsider from your biological family or the rest of the world. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community might only be one part of who you are and it might not be why you’re coming to therapy at all.

My Background and Approach

As a queer therapist, we'll work together to decide what you want therapy to look like. I often use humor, empathy, honest conversations, brainspotting (a powerful trauma-informed technique) and body based work. Together we can strengthen and develop your relationship with yourself, so that the chaos of the world doesn’t feel so heavy. I work best with people who are tired of being unhappy and people who want to change their patterns even when it’s downright terrifying to do so. I currently offer online sessions via video along with outdoor sessions as well. Please reach out for a free 20 minute consultation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I deeply believe that healing is possible as I've experienced it myself. It isn't an easy road by any means but with support and a safe space so many amazing things are possible. I'm excited about helping you find that path as well, no matter what route it takes to get there.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
