Flexible remote sessions available 7 days a week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Now accepting new clients. I offer warm and compassionate care to a wide range of clients, including the LGBTQIA community. My goal is to co-create therapeutic spaces where everyone feels welcome, understood, and affirmed. All are welcome. Recognizing we all heal in different ways, I use a range of therapies: Self-Compassion Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Care, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Multicultural & LGBTQ Counseling, Parts-Work, and more.

You deserve a space where your story is heard, your strengths are recognized, and your healing is supported. Healing looks different for everyone. There’s no single path—just the one that makes sense for you. I'm here to support you through it. Credentials: PhD in Communication, Master of Counseling, Licensed Associate Counselor
