With specialized training and clinical experience in gender-affirming care, I offer inclusive, identity-affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals. I support clients navigating gender exploration, social or medical transition, identity synthesis, and the unique impacts of minority stress. Utilizing evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, I provide a safe, grounded space where we work together to foster authenticity, build self-advocacy skills, and restore a sense of empowerment.

With specialized training and extensive clinical experience in treating depression and anxiety, I support individuals navigating heavy mood states, persistent worry, and emotional overwhelm. Utilizing evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches—I offer a grounded, compassionate space where we work together to untangle unhelpful patterns, build practical coping tools, and restore a sense of calm and momentum.

With specialized training and extensive clinical experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I provide a structured, goal-oriented approach to helping clients identify and reframe automatic negative thoughts and unhelpful behavioral patterns. By examining the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, I equip individuals with actionable, evidence-based strategies to break cycles of distress, improve emotional regulation, and create sustainable, positive change in their daily lives

Backed by training and practical experience in Motivational Interviewing (MI), I offer a person-centered, collaborative approach designed to help clients navigate ambivalence and tap into their internal motivation for change. Rather than imposing solutions, I facilitate open, reflective dialogue that honors personal autonomy, helps clarify core values, and empowers individuals to resolve mixed feelings so they can confidently take meaningful steps toward their goals

Utilizing specialized training and experience in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I focus on helping clients identify their existing strengths and construct practical solutions rather than dwelling on past problems. This highly pragmatic, goal-driven approach helps individuals envision their preferred future, recognize what is already working in their lives, and take immediate, small steps toward measurable progress and meaningful resolution.
