When all aspects of our identities are fully welcomed into the counseling space transformation, healing, and growth transpires. If you're looking for a therapist with experience supporting youth and adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, neurodiversity, grief, complex trauma, anxiety, or depression, I can help. My counseling approach is liberatory, anti-racist, trauma-responsive, and LGBTQ+ and SWer affirming. We're probably a good fit if you're looking for telehealth sessions, need a sliding scale to afford therapy, require flexible scheduling, and want support that brings relief and helps move you forward.
As a queer and trans/nonbinary relational cultural therapist, I prioritize connection and care. My sessions combine skill-building with emotional processing, tailored to meet your needs and goals. My hope is to provide you with opportunities to experience catharsis and relief, while cultivating lasting resilience that will fortify you for the long haul.
Whether these are new or familiar challenges, I'm here to help. Therapy is a vulnerable process and it's ok if it takes you some time to get there. I am patient, nonjudgmental, engaging, kind, and conversational in my approach and will prioritize creating a safe enough space for you to experience the benefits of therapy. I look forward to working with you!
