Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to navigate the complex emotions that seem to consume your daily life? Perhaps you've been searching for a therapist who truly understands that healing isn't about fixing, but about creating a compassionate space where you can be authentically yourself. I know the journey to seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I'm here to meet you exactly where you are.
I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals, including sex workers and those navigating complex trauma and anxiety. My affirming, client-centered approach provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and develop tools for resilience, healing, and self-awareness.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-world connection. Sessions may include compassionate humor, creative tools like writing or reading, and support from my therapy dog, Gio. I offer a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as we work toward growth and healing.
