Helping You Find the Best You. Authentically, Boldly, and Without Shame

I work with individuals navigating issues such as social anxiety, fear of rejection, challenges around coming out, and the deep ache of feeling disconnected or alone.

I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in supporting clients with marginalized identities—racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities. My ideal client is ready to bring their whole self into our work: their identities, experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This openness fosters self-awareness and growth, providing a foundation for meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe to show up authentically, exploring all parts of yourself that shape your experience in the world. We'll define what meaningful change looks like and build concrete steps for living more authentically and intentionally.
