About Me And why I love being an ADHD therapist

I am a queer, neurodiverse, non-binary therapist based in Portland, Oregon, offering virtual therapy to adults and couples across the state. My work centers on ADHD, trauma, relationship patterns, emotional intensity, identity, and the ways people learn to survive in systems or relationships that did not fully understand them.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, engaged, and easy to be real with. I care deeply about creating a therapeutic relationship that feels honest, collaborative, and useful, where we can name what is happening clearly while still holding it with compassion.

My own lived experience with ADHD and queerness informs the way I work, but it does not define the work. I bring clinical training, curiosity, humor, and a deep respect for each client’s inner world. Therapy with me is about helping you understand your patterns, build self-trust, and create changes that actually fit your life.

• I love to travel and am currently spending extended time in Asia with my partner.
• I enjoy snowboarding, wakeboarding, wake-surfing, and surfing. 
• I love Disneyland and have a long-term goal of visiting every Disneyland around the world.
• Food is one of my biggest passions. I love cooking and trying new restaurants wherever I am.
• Being queer and part of queer community is a central and joyful part of my life.

Connection matters deeply to me, both in therapy and in life. I grew up in Oregon, have lived in Portland since 2013, and love the Pacific Northwest. I am currently spending extended time traveling through Asia with my partner while continuing to see clients virtually across Oregon.

Outside of therapy, I love food, travel, snowboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, and Disneyland. I am also very grateful to be part of queer community and to do work that lets me support people in becoming more honest, connected, and at home with themselves.
