I am a non-binary / FtX integrative therapist with 5 years of psychotherapy experience, and over ten years providing supportive services in the mental health field. I typically work with members of gender and sexually marginalized groups (LGBTQ, TGNC, Queer, Poly/CNM, Kinky, etc.), neurodiverse, and chronically ill individuals, as well as their family members and allies. I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing BPD, suicidal ideation, and non-suicidal self injury. First as an intensive case manager working with individuals experiencing severe persistent mental ilness and later as a Certified DBT therapist and skills trainer. I work from an anti-oppressive, person-centered framework which structures treatment goals around the client's psychosocial needs, values alignment, and broader life goals. My areas of specialty

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, we'll begin to build the therapeutic alliance - discussing therapy goals, treatment history, and important things for me to know about how I can best support you. Over the course of these sessions, we will collaboratively elucidate a targeted treatment plan and move toward more goal oriented work.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am an integrative therapist, who weaves together multiple therapuetic modalities to support our work to holistically pursue each clients needs and empower clients to shape a life that is richly and personally meaningful.
