I aim to meet my clients where they are with genuine compassion & open-mindedness so that together we can navigate the di...

I have a particular interest in working with clients looking to resolve trauma, address relational or attachment issues, and to explore content around identity and sexuality. I come from a social justice and que...

I strive to help my clients build a life that feels meaningful and rewarding, where they fe...

I believe there is therapeutic value in shared experiences and as a queer-identifying therap...

It can be difficult to navigate finding mental health care, but you’ve made it this far. I view my role as holding a warm space for us to explore what is working and not working for you in your life. Most of us weren’t taught how to experience our emotions mindfully and respond with intention. It makes sense that many of us struggle with responding to our emotions compassionately. I may help you identify, understand, and accept difficult internal experiences while taking meaningful action in you...
