About My Clients

I support LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients with identity, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and communication challenges. Whether you have a clear idea of what you’d like to focus on in therapy or feel uncertain where to start, we can work together to find what feels right for you.

My Background and Approach

I offer a space where you are encouraged to slow down and express your authentic self without judgment. Therapy with me is collaborative, focused on incorporating your goals and values into treatment. I primarily take a relational approach, looking at the importance of connection with others and how past experiences create patterns in our lives. My approach is also informed by the impact of early experiences on the brain's development, which affects our communication and relationships into adulthood. The work we do may change over time, and therapy is a continuous process. This could look like building coping skills to use in moments of distress, and later shifting to a looser structure while exploring your identity. Regardless of where you are in your therapeutic journey, let's work to create balance in your life that feels sustainable for you.
