I primarily work with LGBTQIA+ adults who want therapy that feels affirming and real. Many of my clients are navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, or the exhaustion that comes from constantly being “on.” I also work with adults managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Together, we slow things down, understand patterns, and build insight so you can move through life with more clarity and steadiness.
I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming care, anxiety, and depression. My eclectic approach blends Cognitive Behavioral, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic therapies to address both current stressors and deeper relational patterns. I am active, direct, humorous, and supportive, helping you make meaningful and lasting changes.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you have felt misunderstood before. You deserve a space where you do not have to edit yourself. If you are ready to feel less anxious, less stuck, or more grounded in who you are, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I primarily work with LGBTQIA individuals, women, and others navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and relationship stress. Early sessions focus on identifying patterns and setting clear goals. Treatment blends practical coping tools with deeper insight work. Over time, clients often feel more grounded, confident, and less overwhelmed.

I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic Therapy. In session, we will examine the anxious thought patterns that are present now and the deeper experiences that shaped them. You can expect a collaborative space where I offer feedback, ask meaningful questions, and help you connect the dots. The goal is not just short-term relief, but lasting insight and change.
