About My Clients

I work with clients who are seeking a safe, affirming space to explore their identity, relationships, and personal growth. My clients often include LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients (ADHD and autism), people navigating complex trauma, those exploring racial or cultural identity, and individuals seeking support around sexual health, intimacy, problematic porn use, or executive functioning challenges.

My Background and Approach

My clinical approach invests in building trust as the foundation for therapy and for sustainable growth that extends beyond our sessions. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change in behavior and habits. I also take a systems perspective, considering how culture, identity, and social context influence your experiences and relationships. You can expect a strengths-based, nonjudgmental, and patient approach as we work together to foster self-discovery, healing, and lasting growth.
