The Evergreen Clinical Approach
Ready to jump in and make change? Or maybe you know you want something to be different, but you're not sure how to get there. Maybe you just want someone to hear you out.
Wherever you are in your journey we will work with it, together.
I am solutions focused, collaborative, encourage open dialogue, and use of humor. I believe in an open, affirming treatment experience for all. I use a blend of interventions primarily; cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and Transdiagnostic LGBTQ affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy.
As an LGBTQ+ therapist I know a one size fits all approach to healthcare doesn’t work and seek to individualize your experience while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics.
Providing you with an affirming and safe space
All appointments are 100% virtual, which means you can complete them from home or any other private space where you feel comfortable and able to express how you feel. I understand life doesn't always go as planned and hope to help you feel more balanced, improve quality of life, and live better.
Treatment with a provider who “gets it”.
I believe you are the expert of your experience and will hold space for you.

Education & Consultation
For almost a decade I have provided over numerous didactics, trainings, webinars, and courses.
I have been described as having "sharp quick wit" and aim to make all my material conversational, relatable, applicable, and easy to understand.
I recognize the importance of increased education and awareness surrounding the LGBTQ+ community, but most importantly action needed towards change for LGBTQ+ individuals in all spaces.
My goal is to bring you comprehensive options and solutions for learning more about how to best serve the LGBTQ+ community, as well as, when creating or maintaining an inclusive LGBTQ+ atmosphere.
