You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone - Roy T. Bennett. You have already stepped out of your comfort zone as you are here, seeking a change agent to accompany you in your journey. As a clinically trained marriage and family therapist, I specialize in working with individuals and couples within the LGBTQ+ community, up to and including everyone across gender and sexuality spectrums. I have over 9 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families of diverse cultures, races, and backgrounds.
Whether you’re going through a life transition or a crisis, no problem is too big for us to navigate through together. My approach with each client is personalized on their individual needs, utilizing integrative approach and pulling from evidence-based practices. No one style works for everyone, and therapy is no exception to that.
Whether you have been in counseling before or whether it is your first time, I applaud you for being brave! It can be a frightening step to take. Counseling is a journey of self- discovery, growth, and change. I believe in working together as a team and learning from one another through the process. You are the expert of your life and I, your helping hand.
