About My Clients

As a queer therapist, my passion lies in supporting the LGBTQ+ communities on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. Whether you're an individual navigating your own path or part of a relationship seeking guidance, know that I'm here to offer my support. In our work together, I believe in fostering a collaborative relationship built on compassion, curiosity, and empowerment. Clinical Specialities: • LGBTQIA+ Communities • Neurodiverse Affirming • Sexuality Issues • Gender Identity

My Background and Approach

Grounded in values of compassion, equity, and empowerment, my therapeutic approach is shaped by an intersectional feminist perspective. Drawing from modalities such as AEDP, IFS and EFT, I provide affirming and integrative care. Whether supporting adults or adolescents in individual, relationship, or family therapy, my aim is to nurture human connection and compassion. Additionally, at the core of my practice is a commitment to destigmatizing and decolonizing mental health, as I firmly believe that mental well-being is a fundamental right. Recognizing the importance of marginalized identities, I actively engage in owning my own identity and privilege.
