Great to meet you!

Hi there! I've been a counselor for 12+ years and have supported growth and change in people from various walks of life. I specialize in identity development and the impacts of trauma. I work well with with queer folks, in addition to politically engaged gen z and millennials who are grappling with meaning and purpose in the midst of a chaotic climate.

My approach to therapy

My approach is deeply rooted in fostering growth and healing through an emphasis on connections, relationships, and community. I am committed to addressing systems of oppression and understanding cultural influences as integral components of therapy. I guide clients in embracing authenticity and building resilience. I help clients explore unconscious patterns and past experiences that shape their current behaviors and emotions.

What you can expect from me

My integrative approach aims to create a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore, understand, and transform their inner worlds and interpersonal relationships.
