Hi, I’m Jillyan (she/her) 

I am a queer, biracial, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, fat positive (Health at Every Size), trauma-informed, anti-racist, and pro disability. I utilize a systems approach. I use interventions from Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Queer Theory. I believe problems occur in context and are influenced by our societal systems. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and relationship systems (couples, etc). I aim to create a safe space for folks to explore their stories and reauthor them. 

​

Coming to therapy is a brave choice that takes vulnerability, courage, and energy. I strive to maintain empathy, compassion, and openness with each of the clients I work with. I value a collaborative relationship that allows my clients to steer treatment in the direction most useful to them. Growth and change can be difficult. My hopes are that by providing a supportive and non-judgmental space, I can assist the clients that I work with in overcoming challenges and reaching their goals.

​

Regardless of what your experience looks like, I am here to provide compassionate care for all of my clients. I believe that we are our own greatest healers. My desire to be a therapist comes from my belief that all of us are worthy of love and care.

​

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time with my partner and two puppies.
