Living in the current state of our world can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and at times heartbreaking - especially if you are someone who feels deeply. If you’re highly sensitive and finding it hard to stay grounded, hopeful, or connected to yourself, you’re not alone but meaningful change is possible. I work with highly sensitive individuals who feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or emotionally flooded, yet still want to stay connected to joy, curiosity, and the parts of themselves that feel alive. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they are “too much” for the world around them, but together I can help you change that.
I have a particular focus on working with the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who are questioning their sexuality, exploring identity, or feeling disconnected from parts of themselves. As a queer therapist, I strive to offer a space where you don’t have to explain or justify who you are. My approach is relational, humorous, trauma-informed and body based.
I work best with people who are curious about themselves and open to exploring old patterns, even when it feels vulnerable to do so. I currently offer online therapy via video. I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I'm a queer identified therapist who works with folks in the LGBTQIA community. I love working with individuals who are questioning their sexuality, navigating the coming out process, not sure where they fit in or just need a safe space with someone who also has lived experience in this community.

I use a variety of treatment methods that are tailored based on your own needs. Most importantly, being in therapy with me feels honest and real. You won't be talking to a blank wall but rather to another human who wants to connect with you and see you.
