My own healing journey guided me into my role as a therapist, to strive to bring visibility, language, representation, care, and validation to those who need it most. It is why my practice is dedicated to prioritizing people with marginalized experiences. We are the ones who are most often pathologized and it’s time to change that. 

I am the first out and asserted Trans recipient of the Minority Fellowship of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and have received Honors Awards in Psychology (2013) and in Core Colloquium (2012) from Champlain College (Burlington, VT) during my undergraduate studies. Through the Minority Fellowship, I have participated in SAMHSA trainings specific to diversity, multicultural identities, substance abuse, working with PTSD and trauma, Veterans and military families, and at risk youth.

Relationally, I am trained in Sex Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Couple Developmental Model, and Gender Affirming Care. I have studied Attachment Based Family Therapy, letter writing, Neurodivergence, kink, polyamory, and more and am dedicated to my continued education and growth. 

I have presented my work on Rural Trans Care and anti-oppressive therapeutic frameworks nationally and internationally through AAMFT and at Virginia Tech and offer trainings for other professionals, as well as community members. 

Outside of work, I enjoy farming on my small community-based blueberry farm, riding bikes, playing with my dogs, reading, writing, adventuring, and spending time out in nature and with queer community.
