Feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to make a change? It's a common experience, especially in this world! It’s normal to feel intimidated, especially if past therapy experiences were difficult or if you are new to the process. I will work with you to guide you to make the best decision for yourself. An a queer, EMDR-trained therapist, I use a trauma-informed approach to help clients move through their trauma, fostering healing in a way that is safe and empowering. My therapeutic methods are diverse, integrating behavioral practices, narrative therapy, queer theory, solution-focused techniques, and education.
I offer a collaborative approach to help clients feel more centered, heard, and fulfilled. As a queer, transmasc clinician, I ground my practice in intersectionality and identity, acknowledging that each individual is the expert of their own life experience. I utilize a client-centered, strength-based approach to support adults and adolescents.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, Trans+, and questioning clients utilizing evidence-based practices. Before therapy, I worked in advertising for 8 years. My life and education shape a straightforward, compassionate, curious, and humorous approach. I view each session as a learning experience, embracing the role of a healer and lifelong learner.
