Therapist & Human

Hey there, I’m Avery

(they / she)

Queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, avid crafter, Aquarius, left-handed, big on bike riding, and maybe a little obsessed with my dog Lefty… Finding a therapist who *gets it* isn’t always easy. That’s why I specialize in supporting queer and non-monogamous folks in navigating the many chapters of life. I am passionate about showing up for my community in the therapy space and beyond.

I received my masters in Relationship and Family Counseling from The University of Denver and am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy. My training is based in a systemic, social justice, and liberation focused approach. I bring my extensive education, training, as well as my own lived experiences into our work together.

Compassion and curiosity are my greatest tools in creating an affirming, brave space to get the work done. In our sessions my approach is warm, down to earth, and personal. Here you are the expert.

I believe that healing happens in community and one of my greatest privileges in life is walking alongside folks on their journey’s of healing and self discovery. It would be delight and a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.

Liberation

My training is rooted in a systemic and social justice approach. That means not only looking at the personal and historical impacts of systems of oppression, but working to disrupt those systems in the therapy space and beyond.

My Values

Authenticity

We aren’t going to squeeze ourselves into a rigid box and magically get comfy in those confines…we end up breaking the box.

Let’s walk together on your journey of self discovery and celebrate your most expansive and abundant self.

Creativity

Getting vulnerable with someone who sits there like a brick wall just feels weird. I use a relational approach - it is an honor to laugh, cry, move, draw, breathe, and dream alongside my clients.

Trauma-Informed, Holistic Healing

Therapy is not one size fits all. I utilize a person-centered, emotionally focused, and attachment based approach to create a therapy space that works for you and your goals.
