Counselor, Pre-Licensed Professional
“Providing affirming, inclusive therapy for individuals, young adults, and LGBTQIA+ clients in a safe space to heal, grow, and thrive.”
Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve taken this step. Therapy is a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery, and my goal is to walk alongside you in that journey. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward the change you want to see. In our work together, I draw from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based strategies to meet your unique needs. We’ll collaborate to find what feels most helpful and create a path that supports your healing and well-being.
