Now Accepting Insurance! Are you feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of who you are or what you want? I help people discover their true identities and clarify what matters most so they can live more meaningful, authentic, fulfilling lives. I am LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent- centered, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental space where vulnerability, trust, healing, and growth can thrive. I support clients through life transitions, rebuilding self-worth and motivation, deepening relationships, exploring identity, feeling overwhelmed with food and exercise, and struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
In our work together, we have honest and challenging conversations. We dive deep into issues that hold us back, process harm and pain, and think deeply and intentionally about life. We even celebrate wins and find places to laugh! We create sustainable, meaningful routines and habits that help you move forward, grow, and thrive in life.
I believe it is essential to take care of ourselves—minds, bodies, and souls. Without taking care of our holistic needs, we can’t be the best versions of ourselves. When working with me, you can expect to: a) be heard, validated, and understood; b) genuineness, authenticity, and compassion; and c) challenging yet rewarding sessions. Call/text or email today!
