I help clients by creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and accepted exactly as they are. My specialties allow me to support people through some of the most personal and complex challenges in life. I work with the LGBTQIA+ community, providing affirming therapy. I understand the unique stressors and resilience that come with being part of this community, and I provide a space free of judgment or the need to explain your identity.
I also specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, helping them better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and find strategies that fit their unique needs. I collaborate with clients to discover what works best for their lives and goals.
In addition, I provide treatment for substance use. These challenges are often tied to complex emotions, past experiences, and the need for healthier ways to cope. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, supporting clients in making meaningful changes while honoring their pace and individuality. Above all, I believe therapy should be collaborative. I don’t see myself as the expert on your life—you are. My role is to walk alongside you, offering insight, tools, and support so you can move toward the life you want. Whether you’re navigating identity, recovery, relationships, or simply looking for a safe place to process, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
When you sit down with me, my first goal is to help you feel comfortable and at ease. I know that therapy can feel intimidating at times, so I work to bring warmth and compassion into the session. Clients often tell me I’m easy to talk to, and I strive to create a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or worry 2 about being judged.
I’m collaborative by nature. I don’t believe in lecturing or handing out quick fixes. Instead, I listen deeply, ask needed questions, and work with you to find the approaches and strategies that fit your life. I balance being gentle and supportive with being direct and honest, so you’ll always know I’m truly invested in your growth.
I’m also flexible. Some sessions may feel lighter, giving you space to process and reflect, while others may dive deeper into emotions, patterns, or challenges you’re facing. I adapt to your needs, whether you’re looking for practical tools, a sounding board, or a space to untangle complicated feelings. Most importantly, I want every session to feel safe, affirming, and grounded in respect for who you are. My role is to walk alongside you, so we can build a therapeutic relationship that feels empowering and authentic.
