Therapy for transgender and neurodivergent adults who are tired of explaining themselves.  

Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, or deep thinkers who want therapy that meets them at their level. 

Many of my clients come to therapy after years of being misunderstood.

Are you feeling like...

You’re insightful but still stuck

You’ve done therapy before but want something better

You don’t want to start from square one again

That’s where my work is different.

You don’t have to prove anything here.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, creative, or high-functioning adults who are used to being “the one who figures things out”—but still want deeper support. 

Areas I specialize in

Transgender & Gender Identity 

ADHD & Neurodivergence 

Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain

Specialized, affirming care 

My work focuses on areas that many therapists are not trained, including gender-affirming care, neurodivergence and chronic pain and illness.

I am WPATH GEI SOC8 certified and have over a decade of experience working with transgender and LGBTQ+ clients.

I also bring lived experience with chronic illness and ADHD, which informs how I approach this work.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands these experiences, I’d be happy to connect.  

You may be experiencing some of this: 

Gender identity exploration- 

You may be questioning, exploring, or already know your identity but want support navigating what comes next. In our work: you have space to explore without pressure, along with support for transition-related care when needed. 

ADHD or executive functioning challenges - You’re trying to stay organized or follow through, but things feel harder than they “should,” and it often leads to frustration or shame. In our work: we use practical tools and approaches that actually fit how your brain works.

Autism or sensory overwhelm -  You may feel overstimulated, socially drained, or exhausted from masking and trying to meet expectations. In our work: we focus on reducing overwhelm, building self-understanding, and creating space where you don’t have to mask.  

Chronic illness or pain - You’re dealing with ongoing symptoms, fatigue, or flare-ups—and may have been dismissed or not believed by providers. In our work: we focus on pacing, validation, and ways to support your body without pushing past your limits. 

What working together can look like:

Sessions are collaborative, affirming, and paced in a way that works for you.

We might focus on:

• Understanding your experience without minimizing it

• Building tools that actually fit your life and energy

• Reducing shame and self-doubt

• Navigating systems, relationships, or identity safely

You don’t have to mask, explain everything, or prove your experience here.

A little about me 

Outside of therapy, I try to stay connected to things that feel grounding and real—like live music, quiet moments at home, and time with my rescue animals.

Living with chronic pain and ADHD myself, I understand what it’s like to navigate systems that don’t always listen, and to try to function in ways that don’t always match how your brain or body works.

That experience shapes how I show up in therapy.

My work is not about fixing you—it’s about understanding you, reducing shame, and helping you build a way of living that actually fits who you are.

You don’t have to do this alone. 

Starting therapy can feel like a big step—especially if you’ve had experiences where you weren’t believed or understood.

With years of experience supporting people with physical, mental, and emotional health challenges, I understand the complexities of managing chronic conditions and navigating neurodivergence. My work focuses on:

• Helping you manage chronic pain and illness symptoms in ways that honor your abilities without dismissing your feelings
• Offering strategies to help those with ADHD and autism cope with daily stressors and build skills, while acknowledging that you shouldn’t have to mask who you are to fit societal expectations
• Guiding you through anxiety and stress management techniques to bring balance and calm into your life
• Supporting you as you navigate personal and professional relationships impacted by your health conditions or neurodivergence, and offering comfort when it feels overwhelming
