Life can feel heavy when you are fighting to feel accepted, both by yourself and others. Whether you are wanting a deeper understanding of your LGBTQ+ identity, processing a life transition, or working through depression or anxiety, you don't have to go through it alone. As your therapist, I provide an affirming space where you feel supported to be your authentic self. I will walk alongside you, and together we can create goals that help strengthen your confidence. We can process any stress or pain you have been carrying, build resilience to help you overcome it, and help you move forward with a sense of peace and purpose.
As a therapist-in-training with support from a licensed supervisor at Daylight Therapy, I offer affordable and accessible care. Using cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approaches, I work with a wide variety of clients including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and I will equip you with tools to work through any challenges you are experiencing.
Beginning therapy is a courageous act, and my goal is to build a supportive connection where you feel seen and accepted. If this resonates with you, feel free to schedule a free consultation call. And if you would like to continue working with me, I am also offering the first therapy session free of charge. Just click the link in my profile!
