About My Clients
I support clients across the identity spectrum, with a focus on LGBTQIA+ mental health. With lived and professional experience, I help individuals navigate coming out, explore gender and sexual identity, heal from religious trauma, and build healthier relationships. I also offer affirming counseling for monogamous, non-monogamous, and polyamorous partnerships. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
My Background and Approach
I offer individualized therapy designed to meet you where you are. By integrating a range of evidence-based approaches—including existential therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and narrative therapy—I tailor each session to support your unique goals and challenges. For couples counseling, I use the Gottman Method (Level 1 trained), a well-researched approach that helps partners deepen connection, improve communication, and manage conflict with greater ease. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, you're already taking a powerful step by exploring therapy. That decision alone reflects your commitment to healing—and that’s something to acknowledge and celebrate. As your therapist, I’ll be part of your support system, walking alongside you as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My goal as your counselor is to provide practical tools and insights that support you through the challenges of daily life. Therapy is a space to grow self-awareness, reflect deeply, and build skills that help shift unhelpful patterns into meaningful change. Using a mix of empathy, humor, and curiosity, I create a collaborative, supportive space where you feel seen and empowered. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, encourage mindful reflection, and challenge you to align your actions with your values. I work with diverse clients, including those navigating LGBTQIA+ identity, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. My adaptability as a therapist comes from my genuine love of learning and my interest in understanding people. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy gardening, knitting, bird watching, and spending time with my partner, two cats, and dog. I believe the best therapy comes from authentic connection, and I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
