About My Clients
My clients are often LGBTQ+ individuals, including queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning people, as well as neurodivergent (neuro-spicy) individuals navigating identity, self-esteem, and relational challenges. Many experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or burnout shaped by systemic stress, marginalization, or chronic invalidation. I work best with clients seeking affirming, honest, and collaborative therapy that supports both skill-building and deeper self-understanding.
My Background and Approach
I strive to meet clients where they are while also gently encouraging meaningful change. I am a Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD) therapist and I aim to create a safe, affirming space where clients—particularly those who identify as LGBTQ+—can feel understood, respected, and supported in exploring their experiences without judgment. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to each client’s needs, offering room for reflection, emotional processing, and gaining new perspectives. My approach blends skills-based and depth-oriented work. I often draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and coping with day-to-day stressors, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed parts work to deepen self-understanding and explore how identity, relationships, and past experiences shape the ways we move through the world. Together, we work toward greater self-compassion, flexibility, and alignment with your values.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe mental health care is inseparable from human rights. My work as a therapist is grounded in a social justice framework that recognizes how systems of power, oppression, and inequality impact emotional well-being. I am deeply committed to LGBTQ+ affirming care and approach therapy with an explicit awareness of identity, culture, and lived experience. I am a queer, non-binary therapist and am open about this part of who I am. I believe gender diversity and sexual orientation are natural, valid expressions of humanity—not issues to be fixed or minimized. I strive to create a space where LGBTQ+ clients do not need to explain, justify, or educate in order to feel safe and understood. I am actively engaged in social justice through ongoing training, education, awareness-building, and community involvement, which I view as an ethical responsibility rather than an optional interest.
