Do you often feel unsure of who you are? Do you find yourself in a cycle of anxious thoughts, stuck in the “what if”? Are you doing everything you “should” be doing but still feel disconnected from yourself and others? I’m here to help you develop healthy coping skills for your anxious symptoms, improve your relationship with yourself and others, and navigate past and present high stress situations. My philosophy is trauma-informed, ensuring you feel seen, understood, and empowered throughout your time in therapy. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming care that supports all that you are, regardless of what’s bringing you to therapy.
My holistic and active approach to therapy begins with understanding the whole of who you are. Together, we'll explore how your mind-body connection, values, environment, and culture all influence your wellbeing - and use that understanding to help you move toward the life you want to build.
I’m here to meet you where you’re at with warmth and compassion so you can foster long-term wellness. It is possible to live a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful to you. Reach out today for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit!
