Clients I’ve worked with longest include those in addiction recovery, couples facing relationship challenges, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals carrying past experiences that still take up space in their minds and lives. We all rely on what we know to find freedom, connection, and well‑being—but sometimes those strategies stop working. I help people discover new ways to connect—with each other and with themselves. Many adults now turn to AI for mental health support, but nothing replaces human connection, experience, and guidance for true healing.
I’ve worked with individuals who’ve felt lost, stuck, or overwhelmed—questioning their relationships, themselves, their emotions, or even their will to keep going. I take a direct yet respectful approach that helps clients uncover inner strengths, gain clarity, and develop new ways of responding to life’s challenges with greater confidence and balance.
As a member of the LGBT community & someone in long-term recovery, I bring a unique perspective that allows me to connect authentically and support you in reaching your goals. I help you uncover roadblocks that may stand in the way of deeper connection. Together we’ll identify your needs, recognize your strengths, & you’ll come to recognize your true sellf.
