Welcome! I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ adults (18-40) to overcome anxiety, depression, shame, body image, grief, and trauma, among other challenges. I passionately welcome BIPOC folx, those with intersectional identities, people from diverse sexual and gender experiences, sex workers, kink/fetish, BDSM, and poly/ENM communities. Many of us struggle with labels, roles, and expectations that have been imposed on us, which becomes a heavy burden to carry. Together, we’ll identify these imposed burdens and explore helpful ways to break free from them by building up your self confidence and reaching your personal goals.
In our work, you are the center. Together we will co-create a brave space and build helpful thought and behavior patterns to let go of any barriers that stand in your way to being your fully actualized self. I personalize the work to your needs, and draw from anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-based therapeutic styles.
I find it truly amazing and rewarding to see people for who they are and be able to help them obtain their goals. I would love the opportunity to assist you on your mental health journey and help guide you towards your goals.
