An incredibly wise therapist once told me the real “f-word” is “fixed.”
When people reach out for support, they or their loved ones often ask for help “fixing” something—as if they’re broken or need to be patched up. But I don’t believe you’re broken. The work we’ll do together isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you—it’s about making sense of where you’ve been, tending to old hurts, building self-trust, and finding ways to move through life’s twists and turns with more clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, questioning who you are, navigating relationships, or trying to show up more fully as yourself—I want our work to feel grounding, empowering, and deeply real.
I’m not a “blank slate” kind of therapist. With me, what you see is what you get. I show up to this work with genuine curiosity, kindness, and a deep respect for who you are and what you’ve been through. My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself and feel supported in figuring out what you want, what matters to you, and how to move toward it.
As cheesy as it sounds, I really do believe we grow through what we go through. Pain is part of being human. But so is resilience, love, and joy. I come to this work not just with training and tools, but with a deep knowing of what it’s like to struggle and to rebuild.
I have two rescue pups. A 12 year old pit-bull and a 6 year old Weimaraner. When I’m not working or studying you can often find me taking them to explore local trails.
My favorite queer book when I need a good cry is “Song of Achilles”

The one mental health routine I could never go without is a 2-5 mile a day walk. It’s always exactly what I need.
Together, we’ll get curious about the thoughts and patterns that trip you up, and I’ll offer tools to help you manage stress, stay grounded, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you want to be. We’ll talk about your relationships—not just the ones you have with others, but the one you have with yourself.
I do this work because I believe in the power of human connection. I’ve experienced firsthand how healing it can be to have someone walk alongside you, ask the right questions, and hold up a mirror to your strength.
If you’re looking for a therapist who gets what it’s like to navigate the world as a queer person, or someone who’s been in the trenches and found a way forward—we might be a good fit. I also believe that our bodies and minds are deeply connected. That might mean we talk about daily routines, sleep, movement—whatever helps you feel more like yourself. Sometimes, a twenty-minute walk really can make a difference.
Beyond all of this, I believe in radical honesty, compassionate feedback, queer joy, body liberation, anti-racism, and a good dose of humor (even the dark kind). Therapy with me is about building a relationship where you feel safe, seen, and supported—not to be “fixed,” but to find your way forward.
