Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PHD
I am a lesbian. Pretty sure that's been the case since my inception. My passion for work with lesbian and gay couples is two-fold. I am deeply passionate about relationships, all relationships, and I am particularly passionate about non-traditional relationships and helping couples thrive.

Soaring Heart Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Living in this world as a member of the queer community still requires you to be vigilant, to question your safety, to reflexively hide parts of your authentic self. Perhaps you faced rejection from your family or your church. You've probably spent some time asking deep questions about who you are and who you're attracted to. Perhaps you struggle with how to show up as your full, authentic self. The therapy process provides a safe space to unpack all these questions and find your own answers.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.
