Great to meet you!

I bring over 15 years of experience in trauma-informed care, working within the LGBTQ Community, from teens to adults.

My approach to therapy

My approach combines, practical tools of the trade with compassion. I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space to help clients on their healing journey.

What you can expect from me

Life is complex and constantly changing. Therapy is a space to build yourself up from your core, without judgment. Our 1st session is a soft launch into your reason for starting therapy, that story might take time and I want to hear it.
