My ideal client navigates the complexities of being queer in a world that doesn't always understand them. They might struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or expressing their true identity. Whether it's personal or supporting a loved one, they seek a space of acceptance and understanding. I specialize in helping tweens, teens, and young adults from the Queer and BiPOC communities with life transitions, mental health, and embracing their queer identity. Together, we'll find effective tools for resilience and authentic living.
I specialize in supporting queer and neurodivergent individuals navigate identity, family acceptance, and mental health challenges. With expertise in gender/sexual identity exploration, I provide a safe space to heal, adapt, and thrive. I offer a psychoanalytic and cognitive approach to help my client. Let's embrace your truth and build resilience together.
Navigating your authentic path can feel daunting, especially when you're Queer/LGBTQ+, but you're not alone. I'm here to walk with you, understanding and validating every step of your journey. If you're seeking a compassionate ally to explore your feelings and identity, I'm ready when you are. Let's journey towards acceptance and growth together.
