Hello!

I strive to integrate my own clinical experience and passions into engaging stories so that folks of marginalized gender identities can see themselves in fiction.

By day I'm a transgender mental health therapist serving primarily LGBTQ+ clients.

Written by me:

  • The Kindest Embrace If Firm Enough Can Suffocate, 2025

  • Symphony of the Sojourn, 2024

  • Under Tokyo Umbrellas, 2022

By night, I’m a transgender author writing stories that feature primarily LGBTQ+ heroes.

Presented by me:

  • Increasing the Wisdom Stat: Gender Dysphoria and the Potential Therapeutic Power of Role-Playing Games, 2025

  • Northwestern University Counseling Commencement Address, 2025

If you are located in California and are interested in working with me as your therapist, please follow the link below. Please note that I will only accept contacts via the below link for mental health counseling.
