Hi, I’m Andy (they/them)

I’m a therapist and researcher with advanced training in marriage and family therapy. My work centers LGBTQIA+ mental health, transgender and gender-expansive (TGE) experiences, and queer relationships. I am currently completing a PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy.

My work includes national conference presentations, invited guest lectures, and facilitated workshops on topics such as LGBTQIA+ chosen family, queer relationships, experiential and narrative therapy, supporting LGBTQIA+ youth, and creative approaches to working with neurodivergent clients. I have presented at professional and academic conferences and I regularly design trainings that translate research and clinical insight into practical, accessible learning experiences.

As a queer and transgender person, my teaching is also informed by lived experience.
