Affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults in CA, NM, and WA
All of you is welcome here
Welcome, I am so glad you are here!
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, Washington, and New Mexico, an AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and a PhD candidate in Couple and Family Therapy.
I identify as queer and neurodivergent, and I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to my work with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals, partners, and families.
My approach draws from AEDP, IFS, and EFT, and is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep belief that healing happens in connection. I don't pathologize who you are. I get curious about it.
Outside the therapy room you'll probably find me with one of my four dogs.
My View of Therapy
Therapy isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about reconnecting with what's already whole.
This is a space to slow down, get curious, and understand the parts of you shaped by survival, identity, relationships, and lived experience. I don't believe in pathologizing who you are. Instead I see therapy as an opportunity to explore your inner world with compassion, make sense of the deeper stories guiding your life, and move toward greater self-understanding, healing, and connection.
Healing isn't linear. It's not always comfortable. But with the right support, it can be genuinely transformative.
You're allowed to take up space here. At your own pace. In your own way.

Land Acknowledgement
I acknowledge with respect that I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, also known as the Payómkawichum. The Pechanga people have stewarded this land since time immemorial, and I honor their enduring connection to it.
I recognize the ongoing presence and contributions of the Pechanga people and express my commitment to understanding and respecting their history, culture, and sovereignty. May we strive for collaboration, understanding, and the promotion of justice in all our interactions on this sacred land.
