Everyone has different feelings about therapy. Some people are excited about it and jump at the opportunity to dive into the deepest parts of themselves, but some might find it nerve-racking, scary, or just straight up unpleasant. Maybe you’re nervous you’ll be told nothing is wrong with you or that you will be dismissed. Regardless of your feelings coming into therapy, my goal is the same: to create a space where you feel truly comfortable to express yourself, to be vulnerable, and where you feel heard and valued.

Since the pandemic, anxiety and depression has reached us on a global scale and everyone is in need of a connection to reduce their pain.

The majority of my clients seem to want the similar things: peace, balance, and acceptance.

I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about supporting clients as they uncover and connect with their most authentic, grounded selves.

I aim to create an empowering, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space that invites reflection, creativity, and curiosity.

Thank you for your interest. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to exploring more about themselves. I use a choice theory and CBT approach to help my adult clients make real changes in their lives. For children, I utilize both directive and non-directive play therapy approaches.

Hey there- I'm curious to see if you've ever thought the following questions: "What am I doing wrong; am I the bad person here; or why do I keep doing this?" Well, you're not alone. Asking yourself these important questions may lead to ideas of distasteful implications and conclusions that you might be afraid to confront, hoping that they aren't true. Unfortunately, that process is difficult because we're biased. I invite you to reach out if you would like an objective perspective to combat your biases and help you develop a genuine, authentic relationship with yourself.
