About My Clients

I work best with clients who feel exhausted by trying to fit into other people's expectations, beliefs, or definitions of who they "should" be. I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore their identity, relationships, and experiences without fear of judgment. I enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community and am committed to providing informed, compassionate care.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with couples and families. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. It is my goal to provide a safe space where clients can truly be themselves without fear of judgment. As a result, I do not believe in a one size fits all approach to therapy. I work to tailor each session to fit the needs of the person/persons in front of me.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am honored to work with my clients, and do not take the responsibility lightly. During our sessions I will offer compassion, hope and ways to deal with the issues you are facing. I named my practice the Happy Hour Counseling Center because together, we are working to build better lives, one hour at a time.
