I provide culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for adults navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, chronic pain, relationship challenges, shame and guilt, sexuality, experiences of neglect or abandonment, and major life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting individuals and families impacted by the foster care system. I provide counseling to help understand the function and skills to manage overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, harsh self-criticism, emotional shutdown, avoidance, people-pleasing, or difficulty managing everyday responsibilities.
My approach is collaborative, personalized, and centered around your unique experiences, goals, strengths, and needs. I draw from evidence-based practices while also recognizing that mental health is connected to every part of your life—including your relationships, environment, body, identity, and daily experiences.
If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply, build stronger relationships with yourself and others, and create a life that reflects your values rather than past survival patterns, I would be honored to support you along the way.
