Thanks for stopping by!
I’m a queer‑affirming, trauma‑informed Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be radically safe and unapologetically empowering. If you live with anxiety, carry the weight of past trauma, or simply need a space where your full identity—including gender, sexuality, and values—can breathe, you’re in the right place. I blend Person‑Centered warmth with evidence‑based tools from CBT, Solution‑Focused Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure for PTSD. Together we’ll honor what hurts, amplify what’s resilient, and craft a life that finally feels like it’s yours.
LGBTQIA+ identity, coming‑out, family dynamics
• Anxiety, panic, chronic worry
• Complex & single‑incident trauma (advanced PTSD training)
• Boundary‑setting, perfectionism, life transitions
My approach carries a social‑justice lens—I understand how oppression and politics impact mental health and will meet you with validation, humor, and real strategies.
You might be tired of shrinking parts of yourself to fit in, politically progressive and craving a therapist who “gets it,” or simply ready to trade survival mode for authentic living. If so, let’s talk. I offer free consultations so you can feel the fit. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone—reach out and let’s begin your next chapter.
