Accepting clients
Updated 20 days ago

I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds and walks of life in navigating their mental health concerns. Specializing in working with LGBTQ+ folks.

Are societal pressures and expectations keeping you from living your most authentic life? Perhaps you're navigating a life transition that has you exploring your values or relationships. Maybe you're feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner. Whatever it is, I believe everyone deserves a space to heal, grow, and redefine what it means to live a fulfilling life that truly resonates with them. I am passionate about working with individuals navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, gender, relationships, trauma, sexuality, family dynamics, ADHD, and intimacy. My passion lies in helping clients confront the complexities of being human in a world that often pushes us into rigid molds of how we should live, feel, and act. As a queer person who has navigated the non-linear path of identity, I understand the profound influence that people, cultures, and environments have on our lives. I strive to integrate this understanding and lived experience into my approach by acknowledging and examining the unique systems and circumstances that impact you. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Reach out!
