About My Clients

Some people may have specific challenges they are looking to overcome, while others may just need to explore why they feel the way they do. Both in relationships and as individuals, often we first feel the barriers in front of us before we really understand where they are coming from. I see therapy as a conversation, and I am deeply committed to maintaining an open dialogue with you.

My Background and Approach

I am here to support you in your journey of resilience, empowerment, and self-discovery. I provide a space where you can feel safe exploring gender and sexual identities, overcoming the stigma of addiction, understanding the impact of discrimination, overcoming depression, anxiety, and trauma and other intersecting issues. My approach to counseling is based on a holistic person-centered philosophy that emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. As a therapist, my primary goal is to empower you to take control of your journey toward change, providing a safe and collaborative space where we can work together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Challenges in my own life and the very complexities of identity itself have profoundly shaped my empathetic approach to life. I also recognize that you are the expert on your own lived experiences.
