As a licensed professional counselor, I provide a safe, affirming, and collaborative space for LGBTQIA+ individuals to explore their experiences and emotions. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, coming out, past trauma, or simply seeking support from someone who understands the unique challenges our community faces, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and respect. I recognize how deeply personal and layered the therapeutic journey can be, especially for queer individuals who may have experienced rejection, marginalization, or invisibility.

I work with adults facing a range of issues including: LGBTQIA+ identity exploration and support Anxiety, depression, and life transitions Relationship and family dynamics Gender identity and gender-affirming care Self-esteem and internalized oppression

Life has been hard for many over the past few years. Contact my office to chat about how we can work together and get through it. Also, check out my website to see all the other queer clinicians who can help :)
