About My Clients

My practice is a safe, affirming space for adults and LGBTQ+ individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or big life changes. I help clients explore their experiences, strengthen coping tools, and cultivate a deeper sense of confidence and self-acceptance.

My Background and Approach

My approach is collaborative and strength-based. I often draw from CBT, trauma-informed care, and behavioral therapy to help clients better understand themselves, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you discover the tools, strengths, and inner resources you already carry. I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals and am deeply committed to providing affirming, inclusive care. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or relationship stress, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you at your pace.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

believe that therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and free to show up as your authentic self. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for each client’s lived experience. I am committed to creating an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ clients, people of color, and anyone seeking a therapist who values inclusivity and equity. I view therapy as a partnership—together we’ll explore your challenges, highlight your strengths, and build tools that truly fit your life. I care deeply about mental health access and social justice, and I strive to integrate these values into my practice. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, or identity exploration, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself.
