AFFIRMING CARE
Therapy where every part of you is welcome.
Healing happens when you no longer feel like you have to edit yourself. I provide an affirming space where your identity, relationships, values, and lived experiences are met with curiosity, compassion, and respect- so you can focus on understanding yourself, building confidence, and creating meaningful change.

Reconnect with yourself, rediscover hope,
and move toward a life that feels more meaningful.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming
A supportive space where your identity is respected, celebrated, and never something you have to explain.

Find freedom from intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the exhausting cycle that keeps you feeling stuck.
Polyamory & ENM Therapy
Navigate communication, relationships, and ethical non-monogamy with curiosity, confidence, and care.
MY APPROACH
Thoughtful. Collaborative. Rooted in curiosity and respect.
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen- not judged, rushed, or expected to fit into someone else's idea of who you should be. Together, we'll slow down, explore what's keeping you stuck, and create meaningful change using evidence-based care that honors your unique story, identity, and goals.
Therapy should be one of the few places where you don't have to edit yourself. Bring your identity, your relationships, your experiences, your questions, and your hopes- every part of you is welcome here.
