As a non-binary, gender-fluid, Indigenous therapist, I am deeply committed to providing affirming, trauma-informed, and culturally competent care to the LGBTQIA+ community. My work is rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their identities, heal from trauma, and navigate life’s complexities with empowerment and authenticity.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues, including:

Gender identity exploration and transition support
Queer relationships & polyamory/ethical non-monogamy
Intimate partner violence (IPV) within LGBTQIA+ relationships
Trauma and PTSD, especially related to rejection, discrimination, and systemic oppression
Navigating neurodivergence & mental health within LGBTQIA+ spaces
Affirming care for individuals questioning their identity later in life
Education, Research, & Advocacy
I am actively engaged in LGBTQIA+ research, particularly focusing on intimate partner violence and domestic violence within queer relationships. My work has provided insights into the unique challenges that LGBTQIA+ individuals face in seeking safety, support, and justice. Additionally, I provide expert witness testimony in cases related to LGBTQ+ mental health, domestic violence, and psychological evaluations.

I have received extensive CEU and CME training in:
LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy
Trauma-informed care & intersectionality
Gender-affirming mental health support
Neurodivergence & LGBTQIA+ identity

I am also a public speaker, educator, and corporate wellness consultant, working with organizations to foster LGBTQIA+ inclusivity in the workplace. My goal is to ensure that individuals feel safe and supported, no matter the setting.

Commitment to Community & Accessibility
As the founder of Bright Futures Together LLC, I offer individual and couples therapy, support groups, workshops, and speaking engagements tailored specifically for the LGBTQIA+ community. I also provide low-cost support groups and advocacy resources to ensure accessible care.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and affirmed. No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here.
