I’m a queer therapist who shows up with warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks of all ages who are navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, and the lasting impacts of trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative and real—I aim to create a space where you don’t have to explain the basics of who you are, and where your full self is welcomed. My approach draws from trauma-informed, relational, and mindfulness-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solutions-focused therapy. My work is shaped not just by clinical training, but by lived experience within the queer community and a commitment to anti-oppressive practice. Over the years, I’ve supported clients in community mental health, non-profit, and private practice settings. I currently offer virtual sessions to clients across Virginia and Washington, DC.
