Great to meet you!

No one understands you better than yourself, yet external influences can sow doubt. My mission is to help you rediscover your identity, embrace existing strengths, and apply them to your life. Specifically experienced with the LGBTQ+ community, I offer affirmation, understanding, and knowledge on issues affecting your community, including gender identity exploration and support for gender-affirming surgery.

My approach to therapy

It is my hope that you will find your sessions with me to be a safe space where you are free to be your full self. My approach to making this happen is to engage in active dialogue with you, providing support and feedback. Regardless of your racial, ethnic, or religious background, if you're ready to prioritize your well-being, I'm here to accompany you on your journey.

What you can expect from me

Together, we'll form a team committed to achieving your goals and dismantling damaging beliefs, such as recognizing that your strength predates challenging events.
