Figuring out who you are, where you're going, and where you belong in the world can be overwhelming, especially today! You might be dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood or depression, or trying to understand yourself more deeply. Therapy is a space where you can learn to be authentically yourself while navigating these challenges. I'm a queer and BIPOC therapist with several years of experience. I work with young adults, LGBTQ+ and questioning, racialized clients navigating their identities, managing mental health, and life transitions. Reach out and let's connect!
It’s important that our sessions feel comfortable and safe. The heart of our work together is strength & recovery-based: not trying to “fix you”; centering your lived experiences, guiding you and supporting you to build a life worth living. My approach to therapy is eclectic: I use CBT, ACT, IPT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and EMDR.
I practice from a trauma-informed lens. I'll always approach our sessions with kindness and compassion while also being authentic and honest. Therapy works when we can have rich conversations: I will do my best to be transparent and genuine so we can build trust, and I always invite that in return as we work together towards your therapeutic goals.

While it is sometimes helpful to have a diagnosis, I appreciate that you may not always fit into these boxes. I approach sessions holistically, and look towards what you are experiencing and how it affects you. If you are uncertain about whether I may be able to support you, I encourage you to connect with me, so we can find out!
