If you're ready to better understand yourself, break free from self-doubt, and create a life that feels more authentic, therapy can help. Together, we'll explore how your past experiences have shaped your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you develop emotional maturity, strengthen self-awareness, and learn to embrace the present instead of living in anxiety or fear of what might happen. You'll gain practical tools to set healthy boundaries, prioritize your own needs without guilt, and build a life guided by your values rather than your fears. My work is grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. It does not have to feel stiff or clinical. Growth can include insight, practical tools, and even moments of humor. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and aligned with the version of yourself you want to become — not a “perfect” version, but a more authentic and self-assured one.

My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported, especially in spaces where that hasn’t always been the case. I work with trans, queer, and non-monogamous clients who are seeking a therapist who not only affirms their identities but shares community and understanding. Whether you're exploring your identity, processing internalized messages, seeking gender-affirming care, or just want someone who gets it, you're in the right place. I also work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. No matter what brings you to therapy, my approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. I believe in meeting you where you’re at and working together to identify your strengths, set meaningful goals, and grow in ways that feel right for you. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and dialectical therapies, I tailor our work to your unique needs, and I’m always continuing to learn and evolve so that I can better support you as your full self.
