Are you feeling misunderstood by friends, family, or the world? Are you afraid you could face harm for expressing yourself? Do you ruminate on the future, scared that your rights to be and love as you are will be taken? The pressures of a heteronormative world can be overwhelming, and the never-ending process of coming out can feel exhausting. As a queer-identifying therapist, I want to help carry the weight of these feelings with grace. Whether you're still exploring who you are, navigating the stresses of systemic challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed from being forced to fit in a box, we can work through it together.

How we work together is the absolute most important part of therapy! Without a foundation of trust and realness in our connection, we have nothing. Building on our connection we will create strategies, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate compassion toward yourself and those you love, as you evolve through this chapter of your life.

The truth is, therapy is hard work. It takes commitment, courage, and determination to regularly show up for yourself in and out of session. I'll be with you every step of the way as a steady, supportive presence, grounding our work in your values, and the unique story that makes you who you are. Get in touch if you think we might be a good match!

I keep therapy real! I want this to be a safe place where you can be your genuine self, and I promise to do the same. Opening up to a therapist and sharing the deepest, most intimate parts of yourself can be overwhelming and intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. There is strength in vulnerability and power in acceptance. Every part of your story is welcome here.
