YES! I am currently accepting new clients. Schedule a consult call today.
My clients are queer and trans folks who often have religious backgrounds. They have come a long way, but feel like there’s more to work on. They’ve usually been to therapy before, but it only scratched the surface and they want to go deeper.

You might also be practicing non-monogamy in one or more of its various forms. It is important to find a therapist who affirms your relationship structure and can help you understand yourself within your relationship(s).

Review of For God’s Sake: Recovering From Religious Trauma For God’s Sake by Anna Clark Miller is an extremely useful and easily digestible nonfiction, educational book that honors the complexity and heft of religious trauma. It is a very welcome addition to my bookshelf, and I started recommending it to…
It’s not uncommon for my clients (and people in my real life too) who have trauma to initially reject the label “trauma” for themselves. This personal distancing has probably been reinforced by the current ubiquity of the word. This has been fueled by a mix of social media misinformation and…
It’s the most wonderful queer time of the year – PRIDE month! For the LGBTQIA+ community, June kicks off the summer with a joyous, celebratory month of parties, parades, and more. Pride month is so many things. It began as a protest march in the early 1970s to mark the…
Why Didn’t I Come Out As Trans Sooner? This is clearly a personal question that only you can answer for yourself. It’s often posed as a rhetorical question. In reality, it’s usually more of a self-directed criticism (translation: “I should have come out sooner and I’m ashamed I didn’t”) or…
Bisexual people are everywhere. But it may not seem that way. Despite the ubiquity of bisexuality, we collectively tend to overlook its existence. And it’s easy to do that, because bisexuality often gets superficially erased. The pressure of compulsory heterosexuality (or comphet) is present for most of us beginning in…
