My website

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, mood concerns, behavioral challenges, life transitions, work-life balance, self-esteem, substance use, chronic health conditions, crisis situations, and experiences unique to the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is grounded in creating a supportive, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story, gain insight, and develop practical tools for meaningful change. Life can be messy, growth is rarely a straight line, and challenges often show up when we least expect them. Together, we will build on your strengths, strengthen resilience, restore balance, let’s make headway.

My approach combines talk therapy, CBT, and DBT to help you build coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and increase self-awareness. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Whether you're facing challenges or seeking growth, your story matters, and you are welcome here just as you are.
