Life can be complex, especially when navigating identity, relationships, and personal growth. I offer a compassionate and affirming space for individuals, couples, and families, particularly those within LGBTQIA2S+ communities, including trans, non binary, and many more non cis individuals. My goal is to help you feel supported and follow you in relation to your healing and/or self-acceptance. My approach is deeply rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, and curiosity, drawing from Buddhist psychology and modalities such as Narrative, Existential, and Person-Centered Therapies and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I work collaboratively with you to untangle life’s challenges, reauthor your story, and cultivate a deeper connection to yourself and others. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or trauma, I will meet you where you are with warmth and nonjudgment.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about honoring your experiences, discovering your strengths, and creating space for the growth you deserve. You don’t have to go through this alone. If you're ready to begin this journey, I invite you to connect today. I would be honored to walk alongside you.
