My Approach to Helping
I’m a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, supporting individuals on their journey toward self-love, authenticity, and healing. My practice is a safe, affirming space where you are welcomed exactly as you are.
I understand how deeply personal and complex it can be to explore identity, navigate systemic and internalized oppression, and heal from experiences of shame or rejection. I work from a trauma-informed, identity-affirming lens to help clients reconnect with themselves, build self-acceptance, and move toward lives grounded in self-worth and belonging.
I also support individuals struggling with substance use and misuse, whether you're in recovery, questioning your relationship with substances, or navigating the impact of addiction in your life. I bring a nonjudgmental, harm-reduction-informed approach that honors your autonomy and prioritizes your goals.
Drawing from modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing, I tailor therapy to meet you where you are—with compassion, clarity, and care.
If you’re ready to explore healing, rediscover your voice, and create a life rooted in authenticity, I’d be honored to walk with you.
