My work is an expression of my love for people, relationships, and communities.

I believe that people are capable of expressing their very best selves. My ability to honor the complexity of individuals and relationships—including partnerships, families, and communities—is a significant gift that I bring to my work as a therapist. I am passionate about social justice, and I understand the realities, complexities, and impacts of oppression, privilege, and power on everyday life. I practice in a way that is culturally-grounded (and with a hell of a lot of humility about experiences that are not my own and a willingness to own my mistakes and repair them with you) so that you can bring the wholeness of your self and your relationships to our work together.

I know what it is like to live in a world that does not value integral parts of my whole self.

I bring a myriad of lived experiences to my life and my work: I’m white, queer, nonbinary/trans, genderqueer, neurodivergent, mostly able-bodied, and navigating the complexity of a rural, working-class background along with current social and educational privilege.

My own healing journeys and the exploration of my self and my desires are part of what led me to my current work as a therapist. I also know what it's like to not have my whole self—including my gender, my sexuality, my attachment and trauma histories, and my neurodivergence—honored when seeking out my own individual and relationship therapy. I have experienced far too many unsupportive and even harmful therapy experiences, and I’ve also been fortunate enough to have developed meaningful relationships with therapists who are attuned, affirming, and genuinely caring. My commitment to provide inclusive and affirming therapy services has been greatly influenced by all of these experiences. I have learned to build therapeutic relationships intentionally, collaboratively, and transparently. and I deeply honor the trust and vulnerability it takes to lean into the support offered by a therapist. My continued personal work in my own individual and relationship therapy is a significant resource in my work with my own clients. 

I am authentic, friendly, and totally human.

I wouldn't ask my clients to do anything that I wouldn't also do, and I will show up with my whole self in our therapy sessions alongside of you: vulnerability, mistakes, goofy faces, nerdiness, and all. Whether we're crying, laughing, swearing, or all of the above, I will be there fully with you.

My wisdom and understanding haven't just come from a classroom or books, but also from my own challenges and growth in life, relationships, and healing. I'm a country kid by origin and at heart, born and raised with a working-class, East Coast directness that has only been tempered slightly by many years in the Midwest and over eight years in Denver. I currently travel and work remotely, even though my practice and my professional community remain in Colorado.

When I am not in a session, I am usually engaging my endless curiosity by finding small wonders to admire outdoors, fully absorbed in a science fiction or fantasy novel (especially if it's written by Octavia Butler or Ursula K. Le Guin), line dancing or two-stepping at a queer country bar, learning about myself in new ways through a video game, or experimenting in the kitchen because food is my first love language.

Education and Professional Experience

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CSW.09925791) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT.0001825), both in the state of Colorado. I have Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level I and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) Level II training. 

I began working in the sexuality field in 2011, and bring many years of experience as a sexuality educator to my current work as a therapist. My previous work focused on pleasure-based sex education that was inclusive of all bodies, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities/disabilities. I provided consultations and education for adults (both individuals and partners), facilitated sexuality trainings for therapists and therapy students, and I also facilitated a sex-positive, comprehensive sex education program for youth.

I'm proud to be a first-generation college student. I completed my Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, where I focused on clinical work with couples, partners, and families. While completing my graduate degree, I worked as a bilingual (Spanish/English) social worker at Clínica Tepeyac, an integrated healthcare clinic where I focused on increasing the quality of their care of transgender and nonbinary clients. I also completed a postgraduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy through the Denver Family Institute, an accredited marriage and family therapy postgraduate training center here in Denver. My previous educational experience includes a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Global Studies from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 2007.

Consultation and Training Services

I regularly facilitate workshops and trainings, offer guest lectures, and provide professional consultation in the areas of gender identity, sexuality and sexual orientation, polyamory and non-monogamy, and kink/BDSM. Please contact me if you are a clinician, educator, medical professional, or organization interested in training or consultation, or read more here.

Community Involvement

I come to my practice as a therapist with ample experience in community organizing and social justice work. I maintain a deep passion for and commitment to this work because I view it as interconnected with my values and approach to therapy.

I am currently part of the Gender Affirming Letter Access Project (GALAP) network, “a group of transgender, nonbinary, and allied mental health clinicians in the U.S. who believe in improving access to letters for clients who are seeking gender-affirming medical care.” I have a commitment to making letters of support accessible and free to people who are seeking my services solely for this purpose. More information here.

I previously served as part of the co-founding team of the Denver chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), working to mobilize white people into action within a multi-racial movement for racial justice and against white supremacy; I now have a support role within the organization. I have also formerly worked as a volunteer facilitator and trainer with Survivors Organizing for Liberation (SOL), an organization dedicated to eliminating all forms of violence within and against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities in Colorado. My previous community work in Minneapolis was focused on legal rights support, education, and advocacy for political activists and organizers.

I love that my work as a therapist supports people to build stronger and deeper connections in our partnerships, friendships, and family relationships so that we can also build stronger and deeper connections in our communities. I believe in working together to build the kind of world we want to live in, and that part of that work happens when we create spaces for our own healing and growth.
