My Approach to Helping

When we work together, you’ll find a warm, affirming space where you can build resilience and self-compassion. I bring my own experience of navigating identity and acceptance, which helps me understand the importance of feeling truly supported. My goal is to empower you to face life’s challenges with confidence. Together, we’ll explore your emotions, identify your strengths, and create a path toward growth and healing. I’m here to listen, guide, and help you build the tools you need to feel more in control of your journey. We’ll tackle tough conversations with empathy, but also with a light-heartedness that brings ease to our work. Therapy is a collaborative effort, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

More Info About My Practice

I believe in creating a more inclusive and compassionate world, particularly for under-resourced LGBTQIA+ youth. As a board member for Out My Closet, a nonprofit supporting unhoused and underserved LGBTQ+ youth and adults through clothing donations, counseling, and educational workshops, I am committed to addressing the critical needs of marginalized communities. My advocacy focuses on creating safe, affirming spaces where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered. I believe that everyone deserves access to resources, mental health care, and opportunities for personal growth. My work is driven by the conviction that inclusivity and access to support can transform lives.
