Relationships can be a rollercoaster of emotions. One moment you feel in sync, connected, like you could take on the world together and suddenly, a moment of disconnection sends everything into a tailspin, leaving you feeling hurt, misunderstood, and maybe even hopeless. Often, we have genuine intentions when starting a difficult conversation but keep getting stuck in negative communication patterns. While I welcome ALL couples and relationships I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ couples and relationships. If you are looking for a new way forward together but unsure where to start the healing you have come to the right place.

In our work together we will explore how to reconnect with your body and foster a greater sense of choice in your life. I work to build healing relationships and hold spaces of care, growth, and deep rest for and with Q+BIPOC folks, particularly queer Black women, femmes, and mixed race people.

I am uniquely experienced and trained in the following areas: depression/anxiety, LGBTQIA+ matters (coming out, exploration, identity), in/fertility and reproductive journeys/infertility, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, and ADHD.
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! I understand that coming to the conclusion that you may need therapy can be difficult. I view therapy as a safe space to process and discuss all of life's chaos. And let's face it, most of us can find benefit in that. My biggest goal as a therapist is to make sure that you get something out of the 50 minutes we spend together each week. I do that by tailoring my therapeutic approach individually to each client. What works for someone else may not be what works for you. We can figure out what works for you by collaborating your expertise on yourself and my expertise and training as a therapist.

I am LGBTQIA+-affirming and allied and enjoy working with queer individuals and couples.
If life is feeling hard or you're just feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you determine what you need next. I believe deeply in this process of therapy and in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully. Maybe you are dealing with relationship concerns, overwhelming anxiety or feelings of sadness and despair. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma or childhood pain, or experience feelings of detachment or impulsivity. Maybe you feel a little lost and are looking to find your voice and your purpose.

Queer folks move through society differently than cis-het folks, and that comes with both difficulty and a whole lot of beauty. My speciality lies in working with members of the queer, trans, and gender-diverse communities. I strive to create the safest, most affirming, and empowering space for you, where you feel comfortable bringing in and exploring your most genuine, true, and full self. I recognize that our pasts create the lenses through which we see and navigate the world. What do you say we examine those lenses, understand how they came to be, and polish them up so they can help you see more clearly and better serve you?

Accepting new clients. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the two of us. Our work together will help you live a meaningful and purposeful life, feel safe in your body, understand your behavioral and attachment patterns, and heal from relational trauma. Our earliest relationships inform the way we respond to situations past and present. As adults, we may notice some of these patterns are more harmful than helpful. Through this framework, I incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Brainspotting, internal family systems (IFS), and mindful body-based approaches into our work together.

Searching for the right therapist is not only difficult, it’s redundant. So let me make this easy for you. My own life experiences have led me to work passionately with young LGBTQ+ and straight adults experiencing life transitions issues, anxiety, depression, grief, or ADHD. I am known for my direct and honest communication style — all in the comfort of couch cushions. I work to create a safe space by first focusing on building trust within the therapeutic relationship all while building self care routines and mental wellness skills. I welcome humor, “real talk” and (appropriate) self-disclosure is my jam.
