I am not the type of therapist who will ask you to breathe your way through oppression. I recognize the real, systemic structures that contribute to inequitable mental health outcomes, and I am here to help you navigate those realities with agency and resilience. My approach is informed by 15 years of clinical, advocacy, and research expertise, as well as my own lived experiences. I specialize in providing affirming, evidence-based care for the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating the complexities of grief and systemic injustice.
LET'S CHAT! Contact me to learn more about my approach and how we can collaborate.

1. Queer-Affirming Care: Whether your identity is the focus of therapy or just a piece of your constellation, I provide care that fully affirms and celebrates you. 2. Grief and Loss: I offer a culturally responsive approach to mourning loved ones, relationships, lost community, collective trauma, or the life you imagined. Whatever you're grieving, it's valid and deserves attention.
