As a queer-identified therapist, I know how important it is to come to therapy knowing you will feel safe, respected, and understood.

I have experience working with LGBTQIA clients of all ages and at all stages of life.

I know that even when we are thriving in our lives, we still experience stress from living in a society that fails to protect our fundamental rights.

I believe in our individual and collective resilience.

I also know that being LGBTQIA is just one part of your life story. Sometimes you need a therapist who understands your queer identity so that you have the space to focus on the rest of your life in your session.

I help clients safely explore their gender and sexual orientation, heal from internalized messages of rejection or abandonment, and to believe in their worthiness in this world. Some of my specializations include:

• Queer + Neurodivergent Couples struggling to communicate and understand each other’s conflicting needs

• Adults who are learning about the asexual and aromantic spectrum, and want to understand their own feelings around intimacy

• Transgender and non-binary adults who need a supportive space to be seen, to explore what gender expression means to them, to navigate gender-affirming care resources, and to be reminded that they are deserving of a full and beautiful life

For trans and non-binary clients:

Do you need a letter from a mental health provider in order to receive gender-affirming care?

I provide assessments and letters following WPATH Standards of Care to clients in Connecticut, Illinois, and Oregon.

If you’re interested in an assessment, but do not need ongoing therapy sessions, please reach out for more information.
