Great to meet you!

To exist is to experience pain and challenges, but within the pain and challenges is this great space to process, learn, heal, and empower. Through my years as an educator and counselor, I have extensive experience in and am passionate about treating challenges surrounding trauma, sexual identity, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Using a combination of therapeutic styles and modalities, I tailor my treatment to each client’s specific goals and needs. As a therapist, I am focused on assisting you on your journey towards self-understanding, acceptance, and love.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to connect in a way that honors identities, is trauma-informed, and focuses on the elements of relationships that need care and attention. I am committed to an empathetic and non-judgmental environment that allows for the nurturing of comfort and understanding needed for acceptance or change.
