About
“My priority is to offer a listening ear and an authentic therapeutic relationship in which we can work together towards your goals.”

Why I became a therapist
I became a therapist after therapy helped me move through my own trauma and anxiety over the years. I recognize the pivotal role that therapy had in my own life and I feel incredibly honored to offer that experience to others. I know how impactful it can be to feel seen, heard, and understood by your therapist. This is why I value creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for every client to feel supported. My goal is to empower you to tap into your own strengths and create the life you envision, helping you move forward with greater peace, purpose, and resilience.

Who I work with
As a member of the community myself, I am passionate about offering services to other LGBTQIA+ folks. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a life transition, seeking deeper connections in your relationships, or hoping to understand yourself more fully, you’re in the right place. I provide a supportive and inclusive space for individuals exploring non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, embracing a sex-positive and body-positive perspective. I also have experience working with clients who have experienced grief and loss after losing a loved one, a pet, a job, or a relationship. My work is trauma-informed and recognizes the unique systemic factors that impact each of my clients.

“This is a space where you and I can both be human, I look forward to meeting you where you’re at!”
Working With Me
My approach to therapy is focused on empathy and collaboration. I deeply care about offering a safe space rooted in compassion and empowerment tailored to each client. I know how difficult it can be to seek help, and I appreciate the vulnerability it takes to step into the therapeutic space. My priority is to offer a listening ear and an authentic therapeutic relationship in which we can work together towards your goals. My undergraduate education in music gives me a creative perspective that lends to my approach as a therapist. During my graduate-level training, my areas of focus were human sexuality as well as the impact of trauma on mental, physical, and emotional health. While therapy can often be a space to process serious topics and emotions, I also believe in the power of humor and use it when appropriate. As a therapist, I am down to earth and approachable. This is a space where you and I can both be human, I look forward to meeting you where you’re at!
