My website
I specialize in supporting 2SLGBTQ+, genderqueer, nonbinary, and transgender individuals, as well as clients in monogamous, polyamorous, and non-monogamous relationships. Whether you are navigating identity exploration, relationship shifts, or the weight of daily stressors, I provide a warm, deeply affirming, and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to partner with you as you embrace your authentic self and build meaningful, fulfilling connections.
By combining Relational-Cultural Therapy and ACT, I help you navigate identity development, cultivate self-acceptance, and process minority stress. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, empathy, and collaboration. Together, we’ll create meaningful paths forward that align with your values while honoring who you are.
Feeling genuinely seen, heard, and valued is at the heart of healing. As a therapist with lived experience in 2SLGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and multicultural communities, I bring deep authenticity and nuance to our work. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Reach out for a free intro call to see if we're a fit!
