You're exhausted. You're doing your best to get through each day (let’s be real, each hour), but inside you’re struggling. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, a difficult life transition, isolation, trauma, or relationship issues, I'm here to walk beside you on your journey toward healing. I provide a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self. Together, we will work to deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation, increase your resilience, improve your communication with the people in your life, and adopt healthy coping skills for the future.
No one’s life experience can be described by one approach, so I use several clinical approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. I use a racial justice, feminist, disability justice, LGBQIA+ and TGNC affirming, and intersectional lens to ensure that your lived experience is validated and respected.
To see if I would be a good fit as your therapist, email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. I am available for client sessions on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Raynal's energy is immediately healing from the moment you're near him. I've never met someone so understanding and patient. He is someone that makes you feel seen, even the parts that are still raw, which is great to explore in therapy.
