About Me
I came into this work not just as a therapist, but as a person who's been through my own healing and growth. I’m a queer, nonbinary person, and I know how powerful it can be to have someone walk alongside you as you figure things out. I’m deeply creative. I love writing, making music, and finding beauty in unexpected places. Being outside helps me feel grounded and alive; I spend as much time as I can in the woods, near water, or just soaking up sunshine.

Why I Became A Therapist
I became a therapist because I saw the power of therapy in my own life. Life can be filled with tough seasons that you're not meant to go through alone. As a young person, I wished I had more skills to help others as they went through hard times. So with further training and education, I realized my dream and love the work I'm doing. Walking alongside folks and supporting them on this journey of life is incredibly rewarding!

You can expect to build an understanding of your current need as well as building an awareness of your current support system. The first two sessions are also focused on getting to know you as a person and the specific supports your looking for out of our therapeutic relationship.

Resources I often share with clients.
The use of singular "they/them" pronouns to refer to individuals who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming is becoming increasingly common. A recent study examined how the adoption of these pronouns is impacting language and societal perceptions of gender.
Directed by Julie Cohen, "Every Body" examines the trauma that many intersex people experience, but ultimately provides a feel-good take on the community.
LGBTQ-affirming therapy offers a safe, inclusive space for individuals to explore their identities, process emotional challenges, and build resilience. For gay men, therapy can be a transformative experience, addressing unique pressures such as navigating societal stigma, managing relationships, and coping with mental health challenges like depression.
Understanding gender identity is a journey into a world full of rich and diverse experiences. At its heart, gender identity is about who you know yourself to be, beyond just the labels society might put on you. It’s a deeply personal part of who we are, and expressing it can be a powerful way to connect with yourself and the world around you.
