I’m a queer relational therapist whose work is grounded in Emotion-Focused, Person-Centered, and Attachment-based approaches. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll meet you where you are, moving at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll create space to better understand your emotions, build trust in your own intuition, and explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I offer a warm, supportive, and direct presence, balancing encouragement with gentle challenges that support the changes you want to make.

As a creative at heart, I often incorporate expressive arts into my work. Sandtray and other creative approaches can offer a different pathway into emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Sometimes creating, imagining, or playing can help us access parts of ourselves that traditional conversation can’t quite reach.

I work with teens, individuals, and couples, with a particular interest in supporting LGBTQIA+ adults navigating faith transitions or healing from religious trauma. Having personally experienced the process of leaving Evangelical Christianity, I understand how complex it can be to untangle the beliefs, relationships, and experiences that come with a faith transition. I value creating space for clients to explore those experiences with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment.

I also love working with queer couples who want to deepen their connection and strengthen their relationship. Whether you’re navigating conflict, communication challenges, changing needs, or simply wanting to feel more connected, I’ll help you slow down and better understand the patterns you’ve developed together. My goal is to create a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and able to show up authentically in the relationship.

Originally from Tennessee, I now live in Portland with my tiny dog, Poptart. When I’m not at the office, I love going to Portland Fire games, seeing comedy shows, taking dance classes, and adding to my ever-growing Dolly Parton memorabilia collection.
