As a queer femme practitioner, I’ve had extensive training and experience working with LGBTQIA+ adults across the lifespan. I also believe strongly in cultural humility and that while I am informed and trained, clients are ultimately the experts on their own experience. My job isn’t to be an expert or specialist, but rather to be affirming and continue learning and growing as a provider. My approach to clinical practice and therapeutic work is rooted in honoring all of a person’s identities and providing a safe, empathic, relationally attuned space in which someone can learn about themselves, grow, and feel more affirmed in their gender, sexuality, and any other aspect of identity.

I strive to practice from an anti-oppression, trauma-informed lens. I believe that effective therapy is about healing and liberation, and thus is inherently connected to social, racial, and economic justice. My solo private practice is small but growing, with a focus on providing anti-racist, gender- and queer-affirming care to individual adults, with specialty in supporting LGBTQIA+ people, chronically ill and disabled folks, neurodivergent (ND) individuals, and trauma survivors.

I am a pledging GALAP member and have pursued specialized training in providing queer- and gender-affirming mental health care through ongoing clinical supervision and consultation, as well as training with Dr. addyson tucker (they/them) of Wholehearted Psych and courses through the Affirmative Couch and the National LGBTQIA Health Education Center.
