I specialize in the queer community with experience helping clients with LGBTQIA+ issues, adults, adolescents, and couples counseling needs.

I understand it can feel uncomfortable to discuss your mental health concerns and I’m here to create a safe and comfortable space for you to do just that while keeping your best interest in mind and ensuring your confidentiality. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, relationship stress, gender identity issues, major life transitions, highly sensitive individuals, PMDD, postpartum, grief, and trauma. My goal is to provide mental health care to individuals of all ages, couples, and families and my approach is to understand what matters to you. You are the expert on your life and I am here to learn what is important to you and help guide you through any challenges you may have that are preventing you from living authentically and without fear. Utilizing a trauma-informed combination of psychodynamic, solution-focused, narrative, and mindfulness techniques, we will create a treatment plan together. I am here to help you recognize behavior patterns and offer my encouragement and support in making those changes to improve your daily life. Together we can facilitate the growth and change you need to be the best version of yourself.
