About My Clients

Are you looking for a therapist who understands LGBTQ+ experiences so you can focus on growth without explaining your identity? Do you want to feel ease and trust in therapy, knowing your identity will be respected from the start? Is it important that your therapist offers an affirming space and brings both specialized training and lived experience within the LGBTQ+ community?

My Background and Approach

For over seven years, I have specialized in providing LGBTQ+ clients with a safe and affirming environment to process identity, relationships, minority stress, trauma, life transitions, and building greater self-trust, agency, and self-regulation. Along with an LGBT-affirming lens, I integrate psychodynamic therapy to explore how your past shapes your present, your relationships, patterns, and self-talk. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, reconnect, and deepen self-understanding so you can create meaningful, lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At the heart of my work is a belief in your capacity to grow, heal, and live in alignment with who you truly are. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up fully as yourself and feel deeply understood. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength, release the weight of others’ expectations, and move toward a life rooted in authenticity. If you’re ready to take the first step together and set up a free phone consultation, I’d love to hear from you.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
