At TheraBee you will find acceptance, compassion, and non-judgement. While I treat a large variety of people, I specialize in working with those marginalized for reasons around their sexuality and/or (non)religion. Communities served include LGBQ, Gender minorities (including Trans), Poly, Kink, and Nontheist.

I was not born grateful. I was born into a world full of fear, disappointment and self-loathing.  That same world was (and is) full of teachers who did their best to help change my vision, my perspective – both of the world and my true self. However, I was not ready or able to take what they were offering. I used to say, “I wish I had listened to (fill in the blank) more closely.  I wish I had been more willing to learn and change.”   It was by Grace that I finally heard someone say something so revealing about themselves that I saw myself in their story – and I knew that the time for regret was over and the time for action had come.

Your mind, body, & spirit are important components of a good life. I work with relationships, abuse, bullying, developing a strong and healthy sense of self, sex & gender, & spirituality. Having had a number of experiences with loss and the survival of the soul, I also do lots of grief and hope work over the passing of beloved animals and people.

My passion for healthy living and strive for the ongoing growth of my clients through wellness is most appreciated by them. I take pride in my respect for where my clients are in their journey of comprehensive healing and wellness. With you as the center, the six major life tasks are addressed during sessions and The Wellness Wheel creates the perfect opportunity for us to travel perfectly together. An established well-rounded and balanced lifestyle as the destination!

I am a professional counselor and art therapist with a passion for depth work, creativity, and spiritual growth. I believe that “therapy” can take many forms, and I am eager to share my passion, experience, and energy with you.
