Peace. I know how important it is to create a safe space for you to talk about your struggles. Whether the discussion is about your sexuality, especially if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, your mood, your past including traumatic experiences and upcoming life transitions, therapy and the process of collaborative learning about you is my goal.

I am currently accepting new clients. +(limited availability)+ For therapy to be effective, it must be an open and collaborative approach that is built on trust.

I am particularly passionate about working with people who are struggling with issues pertaining to relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and self-esteem.
