I'm here to help you heal, build confidence, and feel more like your favorite version of self. As a non-binary therapist living with ADHD and bipolar disorder, I bring both personal experience and professional training to our work. This is a space where you can show up as you are and feel safe, seen, and supported. I love working with LGBTQIA+ individuals exploring gender identity & sexuality, and I get how tough things like depression, anxiety, and ADHD can be. You don’t have to go through it alone—I’m here for you with empathy, authenticity, and care.
At the heart of my work is a humanistic, relationship-centered approach, with a strong emphasis on building trust and creating a space that facilitates safe and genuine conversations. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to listen to and learn about you. In our partnership, we will approach therapy in a way that best suits your needs.
With me, you’ll have a compassionate ally who sees and values you for the person you are. Together, we will build on your strengths, navigate challenges, and move with purpose toward the health, happiness, and fulfillment you deserve. This is your journey—and I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.
