Are you ready for change, but feeling stuck? I can help you become motivated, get unstuck, and discover and believe in your worth. I have experience working with individuals dealing with social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, substance use recovery, and issues related to gender and sexuality. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

As we get to know each other, we'll look at things in new ways. I respect how difficult it can be to know what you want, but not how to get there. Change is a process that happens one step at a time. I believe in the power of possibility.

One critically important aspect of therapy is to name and address systems of oppression, which compound mental health problems. I am ready to hear what you have to say, to listen with compassion, and to help you make sense of it all.
