I specialize in working with teens, young adults, individuals, and couples within the LGBTQIA+ and ENM communities. I'm here to empower you every step of the way—supporting deeper self-understanding, healing from trauma, navigating tough emotions, and creating meaningful, lasting change. With compassion, sensitivity, authenticity, and courage, we’ll find the best path forward together. You already have the magic and power for change within you. I’m here to walk alongside you, providing compassionate care and evidence-based tools to support you along your journey.
I support clients’ healing from trauma and navigating their unique life journeys with empathy and evidence-based methods. Drawing on my education and training in EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and psychedelic-informed therapy, I can help you build confidence, resilience and live your most authentic, empowered life.
Growing up queer, I struggled with fear, self-rejection, and a desire to be “normal.” My therapist was the first person to make me feel safe and seen as my true, authentic self. That’s why I’m committed to providing a safe, supportive, inclusive space where any client can be their true self without judgment as we explore their thoughts and feelings together.
