Is it still called doom scrolling if you're just trying to find a therapist? If you’ve landed here after a dozen headshots and buzzwords, I get it. Finding someone who actually feels like the right fit is hard — and weirdly exhausting. I’m not here to give you a polished pitch. I’m here to offer grounded, thoughtful therapy that meets you where you are, no performance required.
I’m a PhD-level counselor with 17+ years of experience working with teens and adults, both in the U.S. and abroad. My approach is rooted in Humanistic Psychology — which, in plain terms, means I use flexible, evidence-based tools to help you understand yourself better, shift what’s not working, and hopefully move toward something that feels more like you.
I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, sex therapy, trauma, and the kinds of stuck patterns that don’t always fit neatly into a diagnosis. Whether you’re sorting through identity, relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here for the real stuff. Because let’s face it — anything less would be boring.
