Everyone deserves a therapeutic space where they feel truly seen and understood. While I welcome clients from all backgrounds, my practice is deeply rooted in providing affirming, strength-based care for queer and trans individuals. With extensive experience in community mental health, I understand the complexities of navigating anxiety, trauma, and life transitions while holding marginalized identities. My team and I focus on your inherent worth rather than just a diagnosis. We are here to help you move forward with confidence, empowering you to live authentically and radiantly.
Therapy isn't "one size fits all," especially for those of us who live outside the box. I blend clinical expertise with a supportive, affirming approach to build a foundation of trust. By centering your lived experience, I offer a collaborative space where your identity is celebrated.
Taking this first step is a radical act of self-care. It can be exhausting to search for a therapist who truly "gets it," but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I recognize the courage it takes to be seen. If you’re looking for a professional who aligns with your values and respects your truth, I’m here.

Growth begins with a strong, affirming relationship. I integrate elements from DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed body work in a client-centered, strength-based way. Your experience will be collaborative: we establish goals, learn practical coping skills (i.e. mindfulness, emotion regulation), and empower you to see your full potential.
