About My Clients

I support individuals and couples navigating challenges in non-monogamous relationships, gender transitions, and minority stressors tied to sexual, affectional, and relationship identities. I specialize in LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma, neurodivergence, and fostering authentic self-expression. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and focused on empowering you to build fulfilling, resilient relationships and lives.

My Background and Approach

Our clinicians are highly trained in providing affirming, evidence-based care that fosters growth and connection. We focus on empowering individuals and couples to create lasting change through practical, effective tools for communication, conflict resolution, and deeper intimacy. For more about our team’s specialized skills in individual, relational, and family therapy, visit the 'Your Therapists' tab on our website.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We believe the client-therapist relationship is the key to healing. Our goal is to create a judgment-free, affirming space where diverse individuals, relationships, and families feel truly seen and supported. As queer clinicians, we understand the importance of informed, inclusive care and are proud to offer a safe, compassionate environment that fosters growth, connection, and authenticity for all."
