Nor Cal Rural Therapy

Identity affirming trauma therapy for queer, trans, non-binary, and neurodivergent Californians

Therapy for Rural Queers

I support adults in rural areas who feel like outsiders and have difficulty finding therapists with experience and understanding of their lives. Rural living can be isolating, especially when you feel different from your neighbors. A therapist with experience with non-normative cultures and realities can make the difference between surviving and thriving. I hope to be that therapist for you.

All bodies, minds, and lifestyles welcome.

You may not be seeking therapy for support related to your gender, sexuality, open relationships, BDSM, size, radical politics, invisible disability, chronic pain, experience of oppression, or neurodivergence, but you will not have to waste your precious time educating me about these realities or convincing me of their validity.

 
 

If the road is washed out, we can still have therapy.

Online sessions allow me to be accessible to you anywhere in California, even if weather, fire, pain, car trouble, or shelter-in-place orders are getting in the way of travel.
