I believe genuine connection is an essential part of our wellness, healing, and growth. My hope is to create safe space for you to unapologetically be yourself through support, validation, and even a healthy dose of humor. I strive to help you feel heard and understood while you work toward your unique goals. I can help you navigate challenges and roadblocks that may be impacting you individually, such as difficult relationships or lack of purpose. I'll also help you consider how broader sources of stress impact you, such as systems of oppression and navigating our difficult world.
I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help you reach individualized goals including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Choice Theory, and Relational Cultural Therapy. Integrating different approaches allows you to explore the connections between feelings, thoughts, and actions in all realms of your life in order to foster manageable, sustainable change.
I am a queer person who is LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative and my specialty is working with people who are queer, trans, or questioning gender identity. I work to reduce barriers by providing referrals and WPATH-8 letters for gender-affirming medical care. I also specialize in work with depression, identity exploration, life transitions, and young adults.
