About My Clients
I work with a wide range of adults who are seeking deeper emotional awareness, stronger relationships, and a more grounded sense of self. I often work within the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relational patterns. Many of the people I work with appear outwardly high-functioning, yet feel internally disconnected and long for greater authenticity, emotional range, and meaningful connection.
My Background and Approach
I’m a clinical resident at Lionheart Psychotherapy, in individual and group settings. My approach is relational, attachment-informed, and identity-affirming, with a focus on emotional awareness, real-time relational work, and strengthening connection to self and others. I draw from humanistic, psychodynamic, and parts-informed perspectives, integrating mind–body awareness to support both insight and emotional regulation. Before entering the mental health field, I spent many years in fitness, wellness, and community-based work. This background informs a grounded, embodied approach to therapy. I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, identity exploration, and relational patterns. I’m especially passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and individuals seeking to unlearn restrictive norms and build more emotionally connected ways of living.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I care about community, embodied wellbeing, and the power of meaningful connection. I strive to practice with cultural humility, social awareness, and compassion, and to offer a space where clients can explore not only what hurts, but also what brings aliveness, agency, and a deeper sense of belonging. My work is grounded in the belief that many struggles are not individual failures, but understandable responses to relational wounds, cultural pressures, and systems that disconnect us from ourselves and one another. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe enough to be real. As a queer-identifying clinician, I’m deeply committed to LGBTQ+ affirming care and to creating therapeutic spaces that honor identity, culture, and lived experience. I value emotional honesty, relational accountability, and the courage it takes to show up vulnerably with ourselves and others.
