As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where you can show up exactly as you are. My non-traditional approach makes sessions feel more like chatting with a best friend than traditional therapy. I specialize in supporting depression, anxiety, struggles with sexual identity, grief, stress, and more. Using tailored methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help you process pain, reduce anxiety, and replace unhelpful patterns with healthier, more fulfilling ones. Seeking therapy is courageous, and I honor your journey.
