I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find fulfillment. With a specialization in LGBTQ issues, anxiety, depression, and innovative therapies like Geek therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients of all ages to explore their emotions, build resilience, and achieve personal growth.

I incorporate a mix of evidence-based treatment approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I believe that therapy can be a space for self-discovery, acceptance, and increased understanding of oneself. I foster genuine connections with clients, providing a foundation for meaningful therapeutic work. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with the skills and knowledge to thrive now and in the future.
