Are you struggling with anxiety, OCD or ADHD? Are you exploring your sexual identity or gender and looking for an affirming space? Are you seeking support from trauma or religious trauma? Welcome! I am a trauma-informed, strength-focused therapist, with over 10 years of experience, who enjoys bringing humor and creativity in therapy. I am passionate about working with adults, especially those from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, and supporting them taking steps towards self-acceptance and living fulfilling lives.
My specialties include anxiety, OCD, trauma, harmful religious environments and deconstruction, executive dysfunction and ADHD, managing political stress, life transitions and career exploration. I practice from an anti-oppressive framework, inclusive, sex positive framework, and provide LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodiverse affirming therapy.
I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or have been in therapy before, I want to support you in rediscovering who you are, find acceptance and self-compassion, and leave sessions with practical tools. If you are ready to take steps towards aligning your life more to your values, reach out to schedule a consultation today!
