You are unique and thus have unique needs. In therapy and consultation, our goal is to meet each person as the individual they are. We do not have a scripted or cookie-cutter method because we believe that in each session you deserve to be given freedom to embody whatever will best meet your needs. At TheraBee you will find acceptance, compassion, and non-judgment. We offer a variety of services including therapy, consultation, as well as education, preparation, and skill development during major life transitions such as child bearing/birth, death, and everything in between.

A Non-judgmental, Secular, and Accepting Approach for the LGBTQ Community and Alternative Folks

TheraBee is committed to all clients, and being very comfortable working with those marginalized for reasons around their sexuality and gender (i.e. LGBTQ and Alternative folks). See below for each of our therapist’s personal intervention specialities.

Therapy is not easy, and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek out a therapist. As a therapist, my goal is to support you on your journey, whatever that looks like, and to help you develop the skills you need to build the life you want to live. I am not here to judge you or tell you how to live your life. I am here to encourage you in being your authentic self, whatever that may look like.

My approach to therapy is LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodiversity-informed, trauma-informed, kink friendly, polyamory friendly, and strengths-based. I utilize skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

I earned both my Bachelor and my Master degrees in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University, with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Use.

I look forward to meeting with you and wish you well on your mental health journey!

Greetings! Picking a therapist can be tough. Here’s some info about therapy with me:

I believe it’s important to understand how your thoughts and emotions interact with your relationships with partners, family, friends, and your broader community. This understanding shapes how we collaborate to examine what you’re experiencing and build reachable goals. Together, we can look at the patterns you may be stuck in and explore ways to create meaningful, lasting change. Therapy interventions are formulated with your input, moving toward your goals at your pace. Some modalities I use are EMDR and Internal Family Systems Theory.

I usually work on relational issues, symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and  communication difficulties. I often work with people who are neurodivergent or experience marginalization regarding their sexual orientation, gender, race, profession, body size, sexual practices (kink), religious practices, or relationship styles (non-monogamy). I’m happy to talk with you about kink, nonmonogamy, sexual health, or gender exploration. I provide individual, couple, relational, and family therapy.

As of Spring 2025, I am working toward a sex therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance.

Who am I, anyways? I’m a nerd. I enjoy my two cats, crochet, Dungeons & Dragons, board games, coffee, Star Trek, podcasts, and long walks in the park. I care deeply about people, and I focus my energy and attention towards my clients and my community. My qualifications are listed below. I’m not the best fit for everyone, but if I sound like I may be a good therapist for you, I’d love for you to schedule an initial consultation.

Qualifications:

In progress: Sex Therapy Certification, Sexual Health Alliance
Kink Informed Certification, Sexual Health Alliance
Gottman Level 1 Certification
EMDR Basic Training, Personal Transformation Institute
MA in Counseling, specialization in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy — University of Holy Cross, New Orleans (CACREP-accredited)

Hello fellow human! I believe life is an unfolding journey, one that keeps moving whether or not we feel ready for it. At times it can feel relentless or overwhelming, and at other times it can be deeply meaningful, enriching, and beautiful, with plenty of uncertainty along the way. Life keeps on life-ing! I believe wholly in our innate capacity for resilience, growth, and healing, and in the importance of caring for ourselves as we move through the world.

Therapy, to me, is a space to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I work alongside folks to notice patterns, set attainable goals, and reconnect with the innate wisdom we carry within ourselves. My intention is to create a supportive space where people can explore what’s coming up for them and make choices that feel aligned with the lives they want to be living.

I’m a queer-affirming, trans-affirming, anti-racist, anti-ableist, kink-informed, sex-positive therapist who works from an intersectional lens. I support adolescents and adults navigating a myriad of life stressors including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, compulsions, and substance use. Drawing from diverse attachment-based and somatic interventions, my work focuses on supporting nervous system healing, cultivating mindfulness, and strengthening communication. In essence, I strive to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s adventure.

Credentially Stuff:
Bachelors of Science in Conservation Biology from Michigan State University
Masters of Social Work from the University of Michigan
Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC)

I approach therapy from the core understanding that healing happens between people. With your goals as our guide, we will build our therapeutic relationship as well as watch your other relationships transform. I also believe that you make sense- your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, recurring relationship conflicts- all of it! Often something giving us trouble in the present was at one time something that helped us. We will work together to reach out to those stuck patterns from the past and give them what they need to adapt to your current life.

In this work together, we will move at your pace, balancing coping with day-to-day issues along with digging deeper into healing underlying concerns in a ratio that feels right to you. I am also ready to explore with you how moving through the world with your social identities has shaped your life experiences. Most importantly, all feelings are welcome with me, and will be met with compassion and curiosity.

Fancy Terms for How I Work: Attachment Theory, Strengths-Based Approaches, Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Poly-Vagal Theory

Education: Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Community Action and Social Change from The University of Michigan; Master’s in Social Work- Geriatric Scholar from The University of Michigan; Level 1 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Hi! I’m a full person who happens to be a therapist as well as a member of a lot of the communities we serve at TheraBee. I am fairly flexible in my approach to therapy, although I tend to encourage you to become more embodied and present in your physical self – sometimes through talking, sometimes by breathing, sometimes by moving around; let’s get curious! Take a pause and check. How does that land with you?

I feel very strongly that the fit between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of allowing the process to work so that we can work toward real feelings of calm and putting the “health” back into your mental health. It’s crucial to me that I always approach you and the entire therapeutic process from a nonjudgmental and secular viewpoint, with scientific research at its core. That being said, I will share a little more about the importance of me being a real person; it’s that I know stuff. Not just facts about therapy, and a bunch of different modalities or trauma healing, but also stuff about non-therapy life. And “lifestyle”. Basically, if you usually have to explain your lifestyle to someone, I’ll probably get you. And, if you usually have to explain that your lifestyle is NOT a part of why you are stressed/upset/anxious/depressed/(whatever), then we will probably be able to get you somewhere because we won’t be bogged down in those details. Unless it IS what you want to focus on, then we can dig in without you having to explain to me what the jargon means. All of that being said, I can also help you if you have a lingering question in your mind about “Is it kinky or is it abuse?” It is not a fun question to have lurking – let’s sort that shit out together.

So I think that pretty much summarizes who I am/how I approach therapy… and you probably have a pretty clear idea of if we would be able to do some great work together, or if someone else is likely to be a better fit (which is totally allowed!). No matter who you work with, or what your process looks like, I wish you a healing journey on your path!

Oh, and for those of you who would like a more formal credential-driven bio: I went to Wayne State University for undergrad (Double Major in Psychology with Honors and Peace & Conflict Studies), then Eastern Michigan University for grad school (Master’s in Clinical Psychology). I received my birth and post-partum doula training at the Center for the Childbearing Year (now Lifespan Doulas), and my Urban Tantra ® Professional training with Barbara Carrellas. I am a Wheel of Consent Professional to work one-on-one and with couples/polycules (I am not certified by the school of consent to teach groups/workshops on this). I am trained in lots of different psychotherapy modalities, most notably Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (through SPI), EMDR (via an EMDRIA-approved institute), DBT,  and in progress of getting a formal Sex Therapist certification. Other bucket-list things I hope to eventually get training/additional training/certification for include: Holotropic Breathwork, Sexological Bodywork, Lactation Consultant, Yoga Teacher Training, and so. many. more.
