HELLO
​
I am a queer therapist who works with queer individuals, couples, partners, families, and parents in Iowa and Wisconsin- both parents who are queer and parents of queer kids. I use postmodern therapy models including Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Collaborative Therapy to provide queer-affirming and gender-affirming mental health care, WPATH-based psychosocial assessments and letters of support, neurodivergent-validating and trauma-informed mental health support to individuals, couples, parents, and families like yours.

​
ARE YOU QUEER?
DO YOU HAVE A QUEER FAMILY MEMBER, PARTNER, OR KID?
​
I have a PhD in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Iowa and am Licensed in Iowa and Wisconsin as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I provide queer and gender-affirming mental health care, WPATH-based psychosocial evaluations and letters of support, and mental health support to individuals, couples, parents, and families like yours who are often navigating confusing and less than accepting social and care scenarios.

​
HAVE YOU
EXPERIENCED
TRAUMA?
​
Unfortunately, queer people are more likely to have trauma. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Certified Family Trauma Professional (CFTP) and I have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I help clients like you process trauma so you can move forward.
