Welcome. If you're here, it's because you've experienced pain that feels too heavy to carry alone. Whether it's from past trauma, ongoing struggles, or feelings that are hard to put into words, I want you to know that you're not alone. Healing is a journey, and together we can create a safe, compassionate space where you can process, grow, and rediscover your strength. I’m here to support you in finding peace, resilience, and a path forward—at your own pace and on your terms. You're worthy of healing, and I’m here to help. Additionally, as an LGBTQ+ therapist I provide a compassionate, affirming, and inclusive space for all.

You are the navigator of your therapeutic journey. I am here to help address traumatic experiences, relationship issues, self-esteem, body confidence, sexual identity, gender exploration, depression, anxiety, and more. As we grow and change, so do our needs. I am here to meet you where you are.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need someone to talk to, please know that you are not alone. Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult and vulnerable step, but it is an incredibly courageous one. It takes strength to acknowledge that you need help, and I am here to support you in any way I can.
