As a queer therapist, I understand the importance of sitting with someone who truly gets it. Therapy can, and should, be a place where you don’t have to explain away your identity or shrink parts of yourself to be understood. I hope to meet you with an open mind, curiosity, and an energy that matches your desire to learn more about yourself and your relationships. This is a space where your identity, your questions, and your story are honored, valued, and respected.

For many LGBTQIA+ folks, the relationship we have with ourselves is complicated. Some of us grew up hearing that who we are is wrong, flawed, or harmful. Those messages can linger, even when we know better. The truth is that your full expression is something to celebrate.

Therapy can be a landing space, and I don’t mean just in the room with me, but most importantly within yourself. Together, we’ll explore your wonderings and curiosities, revisit childhood moments that shaped you, and notice those “aha” realizations where you felt a glimpse of who you were even before you had language for it. This work is about reconnecting with the parts of you that have always been there, waiting to be welcomed.

When you begin to feel at home in yourself, it becomes easier to carry that authenticity into other spaces.

Relationships can feel murky when we’re not connected to ourselves. Sometimes we discover who we are, but then realize our relationships need to shift in order to honor that truth. That can bring up fear, uncertainty, or grief.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to navigate those changes. Whether individually or in partner work, we’ll explore how to recognize and honor both you and your relationships. Sometimes this means strengthening existing connections, and at other times it means creating new ones.

We’ll also practice ways of showing up in relationships that align with your identity and values, and explore how to communicate needs, set boundaries that protect closeness, and navigate conflict without losing sight of connection.
