I'm a licensed therapist specializing in complex trauma, LGBTQ+/trans/gender-expansive care, and perinatal mental health. I provide trauma-informed, gender-affirming therapy to help clients cultivate self-compassion, integrate past experiences, and navigating transitions with clarity and empowerment. I work with neurodivergent, and relationally impacted clients to explore identity, strengthen self-leadership, and develop authentic, sustainable ways of living aligned with their values and true selves.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll create a safe, affirming space for you to share your experiences and what brings you to therapy. I will listen without judgment and help you explore your goals, challenges, and coping strategies at your own pace. I provide trauma-informed, gender-affirming care and support LGBTQIA+, trans, and gender-expansive clients navigating identity, relationships, or perinatal transitions. Together, we'll discuss how my approach -- including parts-focused work, somatic techniques, and reflective exercises -- can support your growth. You'll leave with clarity on next steps and a sense of how therapy can meet your unique needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I provide trauma-informed, gender-affirming therapy that centers LGBTQIA+ and trans/gender-expansive experiences. I help clients understand and work with protective and vulnerable parts, navigate relational patterns, and inegrate past trauma with compassion. My approach combines somatic awareness, parts-focused techniques, and reflective dialogue to strengthen self-compassion, emotional regulation, and authentic living. I support clients in exploring identity, boundaries, perinatal transitions, and personal growth while honoring neurodivergent strengths. My style emphasizes insight, empowerment, and practical strategies for sustainable change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive, and perinatal clients navigating trauma, identity exploration, relational challenges, or neurodivergent experiences. My clients often seek to cultivate self-compassion, process past neglect or abuse, and strengthen connection with themselves and others. They may experience anxiety, dissociation, OCD, or patterns of people-pleasing and want to explore their inner world safely, integrate protective and vulnerable parts, and live authentically. I provide trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and reflective care that empowers clients to navigate transitions, perinatal experiences, and identify growth with insight and compassion.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I incorporate ACT to help clients build psychological flexibility and live in alignment with their values. This approach focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and emotions, clarifying priorities, and taking meaningful action toward personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This approach provides practical tools and strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges, while empowering clients to create lasting change.
Trauma Informed Care
My work is trauma-informed, prioritizing safety, consent, and empowerment. I help clients understand how past experiences may impact present functioning, while moving at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
Gender-affirming therapy
I provide gender-affirming care, creating a safe and respectful environment for clients of all gender identities. My approach supports exploration of identity, fosters self-acceptance, and addresses mental health concerns in a culturally competent and inclusive way.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand patterns in relationships and early experiences that may affect current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This perspective informs therapy in a collaborative, compassionate way, helping clients build healthier connections with themselves and others.
