Nice to meet you

I center the LGBTQ+ experience in my work and specialize in trauma-informed, affirmative care. I work with clients of all identities. I believe good psychotherapy happens in the therapy space and transcends outside of it. I'm not your traditional therapist who gives clients homework or worksheets or uses a rigid manual. I utilize an integrative approach tailored to you. I'm not here to tell you what to do; I'm here to help you dive deeper and equip you to be the best you.
