My website
While I work with a diverse range of clients, I do specialize in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a proud member of this community myself, I understand the unique challenges and experiences faced by those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and beyond. I bring this personal insight and empathy to my work, and I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for all of my LGBTQ+ clients. Overall, my approach as a psychotherapist is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to the well-being of all of my clients, regardless of their background or identity.
I am committed to working with clients from all walks of life, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or any other aspect of their identity. I believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care, and I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space for all of my clients.
In my work with all clients, I take an intersectional approach, recognizing the ways in which different aspects of identity intersect and impact mental health and well-being. I work collaboratively with my clients to address the specific concerns and goals they bring to therapy, whether related to relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or more.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic; I focus on exploring the unconscious motivations, emotions, and patterns that shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This approach is helpful for individuals seeking to gain deeper insight into themselves and their relationships, as well as those looking to address longstanding patterns or issues that have not responded to other forms of therapy.
