I became a counselor because I know what it feels like to need support and not have it available. Those experiences inspired me to create the kind of safe, affirming space I once needed. I genuinely love people and find deep fulfillment in witnessing their growth, healing, and every stage of their journey.

I work best with teens and adults in the queer community, as well as those who have experienced trauma or are learning to manage anxiety, depression, or ADHD. I strive to create an affirming, supportive environment where clients can explore their identities and build meaningful coping skills.

Progress in therapy isn’t linear. Like a train on its tracks, we are always moving toward our goals, even if we pause along the way. Healing takes time, and it’s okay to pause, reflect, and gather strength before continuing toward your destination.

In the first sessions, I focus on building rapport and understanding what’s important to you. I aim to see you as a full person, not just your symptoms, because a strong, collaborative relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth and progress in therapy.

I am queer and have personally experienced trauma, which informs my empathy and understanding in therapy. I align my practice with values of acceptance, respect, and inclusivity, striving to create a safe space for people from all walks of life to be seen, heard, and supported.

I meet clients where they are, whether that’s exploring emotions, building skills, or simply sitting in quiet. Each person is unique, so I tailor therapy through collaboration, experimenting in session, and discovering what approaches best support your growth and goals.
