Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about the next steps in your life? As a caring LGBTQIA+ affirming counselor, I’m here to assist you in navigating your challenges and helping you achieve the clarity and inner peace you deserve. Whether you are facing trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or seeking to make significant life changes, I provide a brave space that is a judgment-free environment for you to examine your thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. Together, we will address your struggles, develop effective coping strategies, and outline a path toward a brighter future.

As a counselor, I offer grounded, cooperative, anti-oppressive, and affirming therapy. My eclectic approach integrates feminist, multicultural, psychodynamic, DBT, and person-centered theories, meaning I apply diverse strategies based on your individual needs.

My holistic approach addresses the mind, body, and soul, so you can feel truly heard and supported in all aspects of your well-being. I believe in empowering you to discover your own strength and potential while offering the tools and understanding to make lasting, positive changes.
