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

My practice is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a trauma-informed, non-shaming perspective. I take an integrated approach, drawing from CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment theory, and 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 authentic and built on trust, where folks feel safe to show up as their full selves and feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences.

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.
