I decided to become a therapist because I believe relationships are central to healing and that everyone deserves a space where they feel truly seen, heard, and valued. My passion for relational therapy and LGBTQIA+ affirming care grew from witnessing how supportive, evidence-based counseling can transform lives, strengthen relationships, and help people move toward deeper connection and authenticity.

I work best with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking stronger relationships, improved communication, and greater emotional connection. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationship conflict, or stress related to career and family systems, and they are motivated to grow, reflect, and build healthier, more meaningful connections.

I wish all clients knew that therapy is not about being “fixed,” but about being understood and supported while building the skills and insight needed for lasting change. Healing takes time, and progress often comes through small, consistent steps, selfcompassion, and a trusting therapeutic relationship.

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative conversation focused on understanding their story, goals, and what brings them to therapy. In the early stages, we work together to build trust, identify patterns, set clear goals, and develop practical strategies that support growth, connection, and meaningful progress.

My practice is guided by values of compassion, authenticity, inclusion, and relational connection. I believe in creating an affirming and respectful space where individuals and couples can explore their experiences without judgment, and I am deeply committed to honoring each client’s identity, relationships, and unique life story.

I tailor therapy by listening closely to each client’s goals, strengths, and challenges and then adapting evidence-based approaches like EFT, SFBT, and relational therapy to fit their specific situation. Every treatment plan is collaborative and flexible, ensuring that therapy remains relevant, practical, and aligned with what matters most to the client.
