Feeling misunderstood, self-conscious, and/or pressured to mask your true self takes a toll. My office is a space where you can be your full, authentic self–no explanation necessary. I specialize in work with LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent populations facing various mental health challenges. In a world where marginalized folx are often pushed aside, my practice brings you back to center stage, where you belong.
My approach to therapy is deeply human and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you’re at, working alongside you to create an individualized therapy experience that meets your needs. I draw from various therapeutic modalities to provide meaningful tools catered specifically to you; your strengths, your experiences, and your goals.
If you're ready to start working towards your goals, I'd love to accompany you on your mental health journey. If you think we'd be a good team, please don't hesitate to reach out.
