Hi, I’m Chance.  I understand how lonely and confusing life can feel when shame or silence takes over.  As a therapist, who also identifies as trans and queer, I deeply care about creating a safe therapeutic space where each person feels seen, celebrated, and supported. My own experiences with identity and belonging shape the warmth and honesty I bring into every conversation. My work the queer and trans community holds a very special place in my heart. Our lives deserve dignity, celebration, humor, and joy, both in therapy and beyond.

​

In addition to personal experiences with identity,  I also enjoy working with those who have experienced trauma, rupture and repair within their relationships, or identify as caregivers.  Caregiving brings love, fear, exhaustion, and a slow wave of anticipatory grief long before any final goodbye.

​​

Since 2015, I’ve had the honor of working with LGBTQIA+ humans, neurodivergent folks, other therapists, healthcare providers, and those in the caregiving profession, clients navigating trauma, symptoms of OCD, systemic oppression, grief, and life changes.  I welcome anyone who wants a warm and affirming space to feel grounded, valued, and supported while exploring their story. I feel privileged to walk beside clients as they move toward greater self-understanding and a life that reflects who they are.

​

My approach draws from ACT, DBT, ERP, and IFS, as well as trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and anti-oppressive care. I work directly and collaboratively, with curiosity, care, and a sense of humanity in each session. You will decide the pace, the focus, and the topics that feel safe to explore based on your readiness. Together, we build an honest and trustworthy therapeutic relationship and a space centered on your goals.

​

Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and my dog, Wanda, who works for snacks and never breaks confidentiality!
