Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and seeking a therapist who "just gets it?" Are you tired of feeling alone, scared, or unsupported as you navigate various changes, challenges, or identities? Has pandemic stress and grief has gotten to be too much? Are you stressed or concerned with one or more relationships?Perhaps you and your partner(s) have found yourself in a difficult cycle you are struggling to break, leaving y'all feeling disconnected and unsatisfied? If you answered yes to any of these, then you've made the right choice by being here. And I know this is hard, but you're brave. Just being here shows that!

As a queer therapist serving the LGBTQIA+ community, I'll follow your lead. Whether you're new to exploring your gender identity, sexual orientation, romantic orientation, or you're queer+, trans+, and/or nonbinary and seeking an affirming space to work through grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or dysphoria - I've got you. We're in this together.

If you’re ready to feel empowered to be your most authentic self, improve relationships with others or feel emboldened to separate yourself from relationships that are no longer serving you, take your life back from the heavy grasp of trauma, grief, loss, or addiction, or create your coping skills tool kit to manage stress and live your best life, reach out!
