About My Clients

I work with LGBTQ+ adults and others navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and life transitions. My clients are seekers β€” of healing, truth, and self-understanding. Many have been silenced or marginalized and are now ready to reclaim their voice, their power, and their peace. Wherever you are on your path, I offer a safe, affirming space to explore, release, and reconnect β€” to yourself and your worth.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work from a trauma-informed, identity-affirming lens and specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ adults, trauma and abuse survivors, and those navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT β€” integrating evidence-based practices with curiosity and compassion. Therapy with me is a space to be fully seen and supported as you explore, heal, and reconnect with your most authentic self.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing is both personal and political β€” a radical and subversive act of reclaiming voice, truth, and self-worth in a world that often seeks to silence or define us. I’m deeply committed to anti-oppression work, LGBTQIA+ liberation, racial justice, and decolonizing mental health. As a queer-affirming therapist, I create spaces where all identities are seen, honored, and supported. I stand with movements like Black Lives Matter, trans rights, and equitable access to care. I believe in the power of unlearning harmful systems and norms, but also in the active process of learning β€” to grow, evolve, and align with values rooted in authenticity, justice, and healing. I believe in the courage it takes to show up as you are and in the transformative power of deep connection and understanding.
