As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and a neurodivergent individual, I understand the challenges of finding a therapist who truly "gets it." Advocating for underserved communities has always been at the heart of my work, and I believe that therapy grounded in compassion, empathy, and honesty is key to fostering meaningful connections and positive change. This philosophy shapes my approach to therapy and has empowered my clients to embrace their unique journeys.
I support clients working through grief, health struggles, anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, gender issues, and the LGBTQIA+ community. I understand that therapy isn't a "one size fits all" approach, and each client has individual needs to be met surrounding their backgrounds. I enjoy implementing somatic therapy, while applying other techniques.
If my profile speaks to you and you feel we would be a good fit, do not hesitate to send me an email to set up our 15 minute consulatation. I look forward to building a connection with you.
