Hello, thanks for stopping by! As a queer and SWANA-affirming therapist, I work with LGBTQ+ teens, adults, and couples navigating life transitions. Whether you're exploring identity, facing cultural or family challenges, healing from trauma, or feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. You may be seeking self-understanding, deeper connections, or a way to feel at home in your skin. Healing starts with honesty, acknowledging where you are while working toward where you want to be. We all need support to navigate life's challenges. I'm here to be your number-one cheerleader, reminding you of your strengths even when you can't see them.
My approach is tailored to your needs. I meet you where you’re at, emphasizing self-compassion and self-trust. Therapy can be serious work, but that doesn’t mean we can’t share a good laugh. Humor helps soften tough truths, making room for growth and change. Most importantly, I want to help you build a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it out alone. I'd love to connect, so please reach out to schedule a brief consultation to explore how we can work together. Let's build a space where you feel supported and are truly seen.
