Our Team

I’m a queer, nonbinary therapist who loves helping people recover from painful experiences, deal with life stress and take control of their lives. I write gender-affirmation letters for trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse clients who want those. I specialize in trauma healing and care, including EMDR Therapy. I work with all forms of trauma, including Religious Trauma. I love working with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals, as well as allies.

I have a background helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, self-esteem, and issues with gender identity and sexual orientation.

I love quoting my favorite TV shows, Broadway musicals, and movies. I enjoy baking, but I’m not good enough to compete on The Great British Baking Show. I like singing, sketching, painting, and trying to keep my plants alive. I enjoy writing fiction and non-fiction books, stage plays, and screenplays. I love exploring new towns and cities, going to art museums, and listening to live music.

I am a pansexual cis gender woman. I enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing different symptoms and areas they want to work on. I am a Registered Art Therapist and I enjoy utilizing this along with a combination of other modalities with my clients. I do not believe in a one size fits all model and work with each individual client to achieve their unique goals. Often I will work from a Solution Focused or Recovery Model standpoint, however I will utilize other modalities based on the individuals needs. Over the last 10 years I have worked extensively with individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns as well as those experiencing a mental health crisis.

I like being a therapist because I enjoy helping others. I believe we all come to this field for a reason and I feel that my lived experiences have aided me in better understanding the experiences of my clients. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and make changes and I enjoy being a part of their process.

I am currently in a PhD program for Expressive Therapies where my focus is in working with sexual minority women who have a history of substance use utilizing the expressive therapies. In my free time I love to paint, spend time with all my animals (there are a lot of them), and read. I'm also a bit of a geek so enjoy X-Men comic books, periodic video games, and whatever other things make my geeky little heart happy at that moment. I enjoy listening to many different types of music. I like to incorporate some of my interests along with those of my clients into treatment because I feel that counseling can have an element of fun to it and that utilizing our unique interests within the session can help us connect with ourselves.
