Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults. I am committed to assisting the LGBTQIAP+ community, disabled folks, neurodiverse individuals, and persons belonging to any other marginalized group. I'm versed in kink and poly culture. Along with addressing symptoms, my work focuses on how trauma impacts our everyday decisions, and how we can better communicate, understand our emotions, and refrain from maintaining harmful narratives.

My approach to therapy

It is my responsibility to use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, provide you with psychoeducation regarding mental health, validate and affirm you, help you find your power, and consistently address the tasks and goals we create together for your treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

We will devise a plan to improve your quality of life, relationships, self-soothing, and accountability. The goal is for the work we do together to be effective. I believe therapeutic work is about developing understanding and new skill sets.
