As a genderqueer, AuDHD therapist who also experiences chronic health issues, I specialize in working with folks who hold similar identities or may experience some of the same challenges and stressors. Many of the folks I work with are exploring their identity, struggling with anxiety or feeling deeply burnt-out, may be experiencing estrangement or strain in their relationships, or have recently received a new diagnosis and are processing what that may mean for them. You may struggle with knowing what to do next or how to navigate relationships, work, or school. Additionally, many of the folks that I work with may also have a background that includes complicated relational trauma usually related to their family of origin. At the core, I believe therapy can provide a safe, supportive space for personal growth and deeper understanding with new coping strategies sprinkled in along the way.

I am trained and qualified to provide letters in support of those seeking out gender-affirming care that are in line with WPATH standards. I provide individual and relationship/couple’s counseling to adults throughout Ohio via telehealth. In addition to being identity-affirming and neurodiversity affirming, I practice from a lens that that is supportive of non-traditional relationship structures as well as a health at every size framework. I have some training in ACT, DBT, and IFS therapy modalities and incorporate a mix of these approaches into the work I do with my clients. I highly value a collaborative approach and discuss with my clients what feels most important and appropriate to them.

I have been working in private practice since beginning my career in clinical mental health in 2022. I have previously run support groups tailored towards meeting the needs of gender-diverse individuals, led a presentation on understanding how to provide affirming therapy to LGBTQIA2S+individuals to interns at a previous practice, and completed trainings tailored towards understanding diverse and intersectional identities. I strive to create an inclusive, aware, and safe space for all of my clients.
