As a queer therapist, I know how important and life-changing it can be to feel wholly and unconditionally accepted for who you are. No matter your background or identities, my goal, as your therapist, is to provide safety, support, and insight to help you face the challenges in your life. Whether it's a past experience, a recurring pattern, or something you can't quite name - whatever it is, I am here to accompany you through the process of moving through obstacles and realigning with your authentic self. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - C. G. Jung
My approach to therapy is person-centred, humanistic, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed; which is to say, I believe that the past impacts the present but there is healing power in human connection and bringing the shadow parts to the light.
You're not on your own. I think the client-therapist relationship can bring hope and change (I've experienced it myself). Email me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good match!

I work with folks struggling with meaning, identity, creativity, anxiety (social, eco-, etc.) - to name a few. Each person's therapy goals are unique but I typically take an exploratory approach to help you understand yourself so you might move towards the changes you seek.
