As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand how scary and overwhelming the state of the world is right now. I hope to provide a safe space where we can address these challenges and find a realistic, healthy way forward. Additionally, I can assess and write letters for individuals who are experiencing gender dysphoria and want to pursue gender affirming care. I also specialize in DBT-I techniques that are immediately applicable, but also use a wide range of other techniques to best fit clients needs. Through processing and coping we will work together to tackle your concerns and try to create long lasting positive change.
I talk about real solutions to daily problems and functioning including skills to prepare us for when things inevitably shift day to day. I support clients in identifying goals, building upon strengths/skills they already possess, and learning skills to adapt to life's challenges. I'm eager to help you achieve your personal goals, whatever they may be!
Whether you choose to work with me or not, I want to give you props for getting this far in what can often feel like an intimidating process. Reaching out for support is not always easy, but can help to regaining control and continuing your healing journey! Please don't hesitate to reach out and I give you your flowers in taking this step.

I am a client led therapist which gives us free reign to talk about anything that you would like to talk about. I use mindfulness to avoid problems caused by thinking ahead or thinking about the past. I also use DBT-I techniques to make sure you have the skills to deal with life's problems as they occur. Whether you want talk therapy and/or applicable skills, I got you covered! ;)
