About My Clients

My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stretched thin by identity questions, relationship changes, or mental health challenges. Many are LGBTQIA+, in college, or part of military families - juggling roles, expectations, and constant transitions. If you're tired of holding it all together alone, you’re not broken, and you’re not too much. In our work together, you’ll find space to slow down, feel fully seen, and explore new ways of caring for yourself with honesty and compassion.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) with training from Pittsburg State University (BSW) and the University of Kansas (MSW). As a trans therapist with lived experience, I know the power of being truly seen and understood in the therapy room. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and rooted in an anti-oppressive, intersectional lens. I am EMDR-trained (not certified) and can incorporate those techniques to support clients in processing and healing from trauma. I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, college students, and military "brats" navigating identity, transitions, and the many challenges of showing up authentically in the world. I blend evidence-based practices with humor, storytelling, and deep listening to create space where healing feels possible. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you,it’s about reconnecting with your values, grounding yourself, and moving through life with more compassion. I show up as a whole person and honor all the ident
