About this provider

Clients I Work With

You might feel stuck questioning your identity, struggling in relationships, or carrying anxiety and self-doubt that won’t quiet down. Maybe you’re moving through a big life change or just tired of feeling like you have to hide parts of yourself to be accepted. My clients often want clarity, relief, and a more honest connection to themselves and others. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more aligned with the person you want to be—grounded, capable, and true to yourself.

Approach

I am a therapist who specializes in anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem for adults, particularly those in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I primarily utilize Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Mind-Body Practices. I understand that there isn’t a one size fits all for therapy services, which is why I utilize various different treatment techniques to meet your needs. What makes me different? I believe a strong therapeutic relationship and shared knowledge are both essential to healing. By building a safe, authentic connection— through humor, honesty, and mutual respect—I aim to create a space where growth feels possible. Along the way, I’ll offer practical tools, insights, and resources to support your goals both in and outside of our work together.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

As a therapist, I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most essential piece to the therapy process. It is important to feel comfortable, understood, and connected to your therapist. My Core Values? I create a safe, affirming space where you can be your authentic self. I value empathy, respect, and honesty, and believe therapy is a collaborative journey focused on your unique needs. I’m committed to inclusivity and honoring diverse experiences with compassion and cultural awareness. Who am I outside the therapy room? I am happiest when I am spending time with my dogs, traveling to see my friends, and exploring new tricks in aerial fitness. I love to explore my creativity via different forms of art such as coloring, crafts, and sewing. I believe there is nothing more important than spending time with your community and being around the people that you love.
