As a passionate advocate for eliminating barriers to services, I am committed to ensuring access to essential affirming care for all, prioritizing safety, privacy and support in every step I take.

According to my clients, I’m a “Vigilante Therapist” due to my willingness to go “Above and beyond to help where others won’t” and commitment to trying to solve the root of the problem instead of “slapping a band-aid on it”.

I am committed to providing safe, affirming tele-therapy for LGBTQIA+ youth and adults in OH and MI (at the time of service) and specialize in WPATH referral letters for Gender Affirming Services. I am a therapist who is kink, sex worker, and poly-affirming I also believe in harm reduction and am a volunteer safe supply distributor within my community. I recognize the trauma that many have had inflicted on them by our typical public ‘safety’ systems. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based, collaborative, approach to utilizing such entities only when absolutely necessary to maintain safety after all other options have been exhausted .

I acknowledge that you are the expert on you. I recognize my privilege as a white cis female and am mindful to watch for any unconscious biases in order to challenge them. I am committed to listening to my community and adapting accordingly in order to provide the safest care I can.

I identify as a queer, pansexual acespike, neurospicy, female identifying, single mother with chronic illness, who became a fentanyl widow. I also have a deeply personal connection to the Trans community. I am laid back and go with the flow. I wear my tattoos, piercings, and rainbows with pride and am known curse like a sailor. I also have a habit of being unapologetically outspoken and loud when up against injustice. My clients will tell you that I am definitely not your average therapist.

Above and beyond all else I love what I do
