Let’s be honest: something hurts. Maybe it’s a relationship that’s unraveling, a sense of disconnection in your sex life, or a gnawing question about who you are and where you belong. Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of shame, confusion, or invisibility for far too long. And in this moment, you’re searching for something more. Relief. Clarity. Change. If you’re navigating identity, intimacy, or the ache of transition, especially as someone under the Queer umbrella, you know how heavy it can feel. The world isn’t always kind to complexity. Whatever it is that has brought you to my profile, I am here to support you.
I support lasting change rather than quick symptom relief. We will work together to heal attachment wounds and rewrite relational scripts in collaborative, curiosity-driven sessions. I help clients navigate identity, sexuality, and relational issues, offering an affirming space where Queer adults facing shame, anxiety, or depression feel genuinely supported.
If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment, reach out to me via the email function and I will coordinate with you a good time to meet that works for both of us. You can also visit my website for more information about me, and request an initial appointment by visiting my calendar under the "Book Now" page.

I often use a psychodynamic approach in my work with clients, focusing on depth-oriented and process-based work. We will work together in our initial sessions to create a specialized treatment plan and establish agreed upon goals to work towards, and re-evaluate these periodically. I'm here to support you in this process and adjust to your needs!
