You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you’re becoming. Maybe you’re navigating identity, family pressure, relationship challenges, or the lasting impact of trauma. You want clarity, grounding, and a space where you can show up authentically without judgment. My ideal clients are LGBTQIA+ adults, trauma survivors, and individuals ready to understand their emotions, heal old wounds, and build healthier connections with themselves and others.
I specialize in trauma-focused, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy using EMDR, ACT, and IFS-informed parts work. My approach is warm, direct, and sex-positive. Together we’ll explore your patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop tools that help you feel grounded, connected, and more in control of your life.
Healing doesn’t require perfection—just the willingness to show up as you are. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your story, understand your emotions, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk with you.
