About

Walking through a world that often misinterprets your gender, identity, or relationship structure is exhausting. You are seeking a space where you do not have to be the teacher. You deserve a place where your pronouns, queer joy, and non-binary experience are the baseline instead of the exception. Whether navigating transition, the weight of trauma, or the invisible toll of chronic illness, you deserve a therapist who understands your intersectional reality. I act as a collaborative partner who values your resilience while holding a safe and humor-filled space for your most vulnerable parts to finally breathe and feel understood. I specialize in gender-affirming care and supporting the LGBTQ+ community through trauma and identity exploration. I also support first responders. By blending practical coping tools with deep emotional insight, I offer a roadmap for life’s toughest moments. My goal is to help you move beyond just getting by toward a life that feels truly yours.
