We just might be a great fit if: You are someone who has experienced sexual abuse or assault or if you are a member of the LGBTIA+ community who has been hurt by family, organizations or religions for your lived experiences.

This is probably the part where I’m supposed to tell you about my education, and all the reasons why you should work with me. Let’s be honest though, you’re wondering if we could be a fit. The important thing to you is knowing if you could sit across from me and feel heard and understood. And you’re wondering if I can help.

I’m in my early thirties and I tend to keep things as real as possible. I am a queer therapist, and I am honored to be able to work with other LGBT+ folks as they navigate life. Cheering folks on is one of my favorite things. If you come in and tell me about a win? This means that I’ll show up fully as myself, let you take the time you need, work together to build safety, and always leave some room for dark humor (if that’s your thing). I believe in the types of therapy that I use, and I believe in the healing experience of human connection. My hope is that you, as my client, will benefit from both.

Before becoming a therapist, I received a Biblical Studies degree and a Family and Church Education degree from Columbia International University. I even spent years working with family ministries at churches in the Bible Belt. My master’s degree was also obtained from a Biblical university, where there was a focus on incorporating spirituality into mental health work. I am not currently affiliated with any religion, denomination, or organized practice. I now enjoy working with folks from all spiritual practices as they seek healing and am especially interested in working with folks as they process religious trauma. I am a certified EMDR Therapist.

I am committed to on going learning and cultural humility. I actively seek to learn from Queer clinicians through continuing education. Treating oppression trauma through EMDR Therapy, treating religious trauma through EMDR Therapy are areas of specific interest.
