About My Clients

I am deeply passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults as they explore and navigate identity, sexuality, gender, relationships, life transitions, and grief and loss.

My Background and Approach

I value authenticity and cultivating a space that feels warm and welcoming, where you can show up just as you are, free from outside expectations to conform or perform. My practice is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a non-shaming perspective. I take an integrated approach, drawing from relational and person-centered frameworks. Together, we can identify patterns, build insight, and recognize areas of agency, while honoring the challenges and circumstances that have influenced your experiences. My priority is to create an affirming environment and foster a therapeutic relationship that feels genuine and built on trust, where folks feel safe to show up as their full selves and feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences. I currently have availability, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer-identifying therapist, I move through the world and practice therapy through a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, recognizing the ways that systems, identities, and lived experiences shape mental health and well-being, and I am passionate about decolonizing mental health practices.
