Supervisor: Marissa Connelly, LCSW

Telehealth Only

I believe the core of any successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. As a therapist I strive to create a safe environment where we can work through whatever issues have brought you to therapy together. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and experience and that your right to self determination comes first. Working from a trauma informed, strengths based perspective I offer psychodynamic talk therapy centered on your needs. I use a combination of relational, strengths based, and psychodynamic modalities in my work.

While I welcome all clients, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as people in non hetero/cisnormative relationship structures such as polyamorous, consensually non- monogamous, and kink based relationships.

As a trans woman, I have experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find trans competent mental healthcare. While that lived experience informs my work, I believe that identity alone is not enough to guarantee cultural competence. As such, I strive to practice cultural humility and avoid assumptions about your experience in order to create a queer affirming, anti-racist practice which serves and centers you.
