About My Clients

Life can be complicated, and sometimes it helps to have a space where you can just be, with no pressure to have everything figured out. Whether you’re navigating your identity, working through past trauma, or simply trying to figure out how to cope with life’s ups and downs, I’m here to offer support in a non-judgmental space.

My Background and Approach

I’m a licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Registered Drama Therapist who focuses on building a collaborative and affirming space. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health, harm reduction, drama therapy, and use a client centered approach. We’ll work together to explore your thoughts and feelings in a way that feels comfortable for you. This could include talking through what’s on your mind, using creative tools to help you express yourself, or finding new ways to approach the challenges you’re facing. I’m here to offer a safe, affirming space where you can work through things at your own pace, and without shame, pressure, or expectations. Life is hard enough as it is, and therapy should be a place where you can show up as your authentic self. I'm ready to help you explore, heal, and build the tools you need to feel more grounded, empowered, and confident.
