They/Them
Therapist
My pronouns are they/them and I specialize in LGBTQIA+ care including Gender Identity, Sexuality, and Religious & Complex Trauma. I also write letters of support for medical gender-affirming care, including HRT and top surgery. I have a strong background in intersectional feminism and social justice. Every person deserves to be valued and every person is valuable. I recognize social oppression can't be healed with therapy alone. I have lived experience navigating our society as a visibly trans/queer/lesbian and neurodivergent individual living in Northern Michigan. My wife and I live upstate in a small town with our three cats!
My clients continue to confirm that having a therapist who understands their perspective as a queer person has made a huge difference in their therapy experience. I typically work with adults ranging from 18-45+ years old, but also will see teenagers. I have experience assessing and providing support for Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, OCD, Autism, ADHD, and DID.
During our initial sessions, we will discuss what you want to gain from therapy and collaborate as a team to create a personalized treatment plan. You are the expert of your brain and body!
