About My Clients

I work with adults who have been called too much, too sensitive, too intense, too complicated, or too hard to understand. I don’t see you that way. I see a whole person with history, context, values, contradictions, survival strategies, and needs that deserve to be taken seriously. Therapy here is collaborative, honest, and adapted to you.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with an MA in Counseling, a BA in Psychology, and an AS in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I hold the National Certified Counselor (NCC) credential issued by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I'm also a member of ACA, SAIGE, APA, and Psi Chi but more importantly, I care deeply about helping people feel safe, understood, and seen. Credentials aside, what matters is how we show up. I've worked with all age groups, from children to elders, but I currently focus on adults (18+) due to the nature of online therapy. I have extensive experience with virtual care and value the unique intimacy and accessibility it can offer.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens in spaces where people can show up with their full humanity. I support all forms of neurodivergence, gender diversity, queer identity, cultural reclamation, deconstruction, and emotional expression that don't fit neatly into labels. I care about reducing suffering, honoring survival, and making space for people to be real without having to justify why. I stand with people who've been systemically harmed, excluded, or erased across race, class, ability, gender, and more. I believe liberation work must be collective, nuanced, and ongoing. Mostly, I believe in people. Even when the world doesn't. Especially when they don't believe in themselves yet.
