Therapy isn’t about racing to a finish line, it’s about the journey we take together. In our work, we’ll explore the parts of your identity that feel most meaningful, look at how your relationships shape your world, and create space for the challenges you’re navigating right now. You are the expert on your own life, and I’ll trust your inner wisdom every step of the way! You don’t need to know where to start. As the saying goes: “Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”
I love working with people who are curious, reflective, and open to exploring new parts of themselves. I specialize in supporting emerging adulthood (18–24). I’m passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients, and I practice from a culturally affirming, relationship-affirming (including CNM), kink-allied, and sex-worker allied lens.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, caring, and real. You’ll usually catch me with a cup of coffee or tea in hand, ready to settle in and do meaningful work together. I became a therapist because everyone deserves accessible, affirming care, and I am committed to helping bridge that gap for underserved communities.
