I provide a safe, supportive space for individuals navigating women’s issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, career changes, divorce, loss, trauma, and sexual abuse. I offer affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals and support for those impacted by microaggressions, discrimination, and workplace or societal stressors, as well as concerns related to intimacy and sexuality.
