Hi, y'all,

I bring 17 years of experience and believe firmly that nothing shifts in the therapeutic space unless clients feel seen and connected to their clinician.

I am warm and direct, personable and challenging. I move through my life with curiosity and wonder at the natural world and the power of relationships.

I love swimming in fresh water, non-fiction books, spending time with my teenagers and hanging out in my gardens. I specialize in sexual and gender identity and look forward to building relationships with people that are motivated to move forward, begin healing and expanding their world.

You have taken a courageous step by looking for support, and I want you to feel

genuinely at home here. Whether you are navigating identity, trauma,

neurodivergence, or something you have not quite found words for yet, you deserve a

therapist who truly gets it. With over 20 years in mental health and specialized

training in LGBTQ+ affirmative care, adult autism and ADHD, and trauma, I bring both

depth and flexibility to our work. I would love to connect with you.
