I'm passionate about improving the field and practice of mental healthcare to better serve people from diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. My practice is a space where you can become curious and exploratory about all of yourself, including your gender and sexuality, if and when it feels relevant for you.
Authentic Self Consulting & Psychotherapy exists to help LGBTQ+ folx thrive, both on an individual and a systemic level.
INDIVIDUAL
Through one-on-one virtual therapy and virtual support groups, I help my clients tell their story, make sense of their story, and own their story. Many people I work with have had ongoing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress for years. When other forms of therapy haven’t proven to be helpful, I offer a personalized, relationship-focused approach that helps you get to the root of what’s holding you back.
SYSTEMIC
Through gender diversity and inclusion consulting, I help socially conscious businesses, organizations, and schools create sustainable systems to support LGBTQ+ people. Even the most well-intentioned, progressive organizations can struggle to create and grow a truly inclusive environment; I guide leaders to take concrete action to fulfill their promises and help LGBTQ+ folx thrive.
