If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling to understand your own thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, I am so glad you are here. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, couple, friends, or other type of relationship, I am committed to working collaboratively with you to foster understanding, healing, and deeper connections. As a queer therapist, I practice with a genuine personal understanding of the unique challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community, but I also work with people of all backgrounds. I work relationally, have a direct yet warm style, and I think laughter has as important a place in therapy as tears do.

I specialize in supporting those who have experienced trauma, suffer from anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship issues, or who might be exploring their sexual orientation, relationship style, or gender identity. I also offer conjoint therapy for people in relationship to each other, including couples, roommates, friends, or other relationship types.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and strengthened relationships, I invite you to take the first step. You don't have to navigate this path alone. I would be honored to support you in your growth. Together, we will explore your experiences, develop coping strategies, and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.
