As a therapist, my specialization lies in working with individuals who are queer, neurodivergent, and have experienced trauma. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective and reject the deficit model of mental health. With training in CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am a firm believer in social justice and have a history of working in LGBTQ services and advocacy. I recognize the importance of exploring and embracing all aspects of identity, and strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to do so.
