About Me
-
I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist who specializes in the issues faced by queer, neurodivergent folks including trauma, relationships, and sex issues. I use they/them pronouns and identify as non-binary/ genderqueer. I am white and was born the oldest child to white, upper-middle class parents. I hold no ethnic connection to any particular group as a result of the United States' conceptualization of race- specifically the patriarchal, colonizing, white supremacist construction of "whiteness". I was raised as a part of the Evangelical Christian church although I am no longer a part of any religious group. I was born and raised in the greater Los Angeles area of California. I have been married to my husband since 2020.
I received my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University in April 2023. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a master’s degree in Special Education, and a Doctorate in Health Science specializing in clinical leadership and transgender health care. I am the Clinical Director of the ND+ Denver Tech Center Office and co-owner of Entelechy Healing Collective, the group that includes ND+.
Outside of the office, I love watching movies, taking my seven-pound Pomeranian puppy (pictured above) out for walks in the park, and searching for the best cup of coffee in Colorado. I also write poetry, read feminist theory, and pour obscene numbers of hours into strategy and RPG video games in my free time.

I am licensed in the state of Colorado as a Marriage and Family Therapist.
I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
I have post degree training in Neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, OCD), Sex Therapy, clinical approaches for treating trauma, and clinical supervision.

I grew up and went to college in Southern California (just outside of Los Angeles). After graduating, I started working as an educator and fell in love with helping people learn and grow. This passion continued when I moved to Colorado and started working with non-profit organizations that advocated for individuals with disabilities and other underserved people groups.
Eventually, I decided I wanted to develop a more sophisticated clinical skill set so that I could be a more present and effective agent of change. After completing my first Masters degree and a professional certification in Applied Behavior Analysis, I began working with families and children across the state of Colorado. In doing this work, I became more deeply convinced of the power of evidence-based treatment, creative problem solving, and playful connection. I also quickly realized how little I knew and how much more there is to learn.
Having completed my second master’s degree, I have pivoted to working with Neurodivergent folks particularly when they are also impacted by issues related to their relationships, sexuality, gender, and trauma. As a queer, neurodiverse person myself, this work is something I am deeply passionate about. Outside of work, I spend my time reading, watching movies, and exploring Colorado with my husband. The picture above is my husband and I picking locally grown pumpkins- something that didn’t happen much where I grew up!

My personal and professional perspective is informed by a commitment to social justice, community-mindedness, feminist theory, queer theory, and disability theory. Politically, I consider myself to be somewhere on the leftist/socialist/anarchist side of things. I value creativity, accountability and questioning established power structures. I tell the truth. I was raised Evangelical Christian, and have been deconstructing those beliefs for many years- I currently do not consider myself religiously affiliated with any group but am very comfortable discussing religion and spirituality. Professionally, I see empowering my clients with accurate information, access to high quality medical care, and the removal of barriers as a top priority. I am sex positive, drug-neutral, and non-pathologizing in my thinking and clinical work. I endeavor to help my clients explore and refine their own, authentic voice. I do not use AI tools in any of my clinical work and attempt to limit their use wherever possible. I place a high value on my client’s privacy and safety.
