My ideal client is an adult navigating the complexities of identity and life’s transitions—especially those within the LGBTQIA+ community. You may feel "buttoned up" by societal demands or lost while exploring your most authentic self. Perhaps you are processing unique social and emotional stressors or navigating relationship dynamics that feel heavy. You want a space where you have permission to be yourself and exist without judgment. You are looking for a collaborative partner to help you reclaim the leading role in your own life and piece together the puzzle of your healing.
I offer a trauma-informed, affirming approach tailored to your unique context. I specialize in identity development, LGBTQIA+ supportive care, and trauma intervention. Whether we are "talking it out" to explore past experiences or learning how your brain works to manage anxiety, my goal is to provide the building blocks for your personal growth and freedom.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is a healing force in itself. Starting therapy is a significant step, and I prioritize creating an environment where you feel safe, trusted, and understood. With honesty, humor, and a genuine heart, I am here to help you navigate your journey toward authenticity. Reach out today to see how we can work together.

The main issues I help with include LGBTQIA identity, trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem. A typical plan is collaborative; we may focus on processing childhood experiences or using tangible "homework" to meet your goals. Expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, rediscover your personal freedom, and feel empowered in your daily life.
