Let's take a moment to ask, what do you need? We go through life without considering what we need and then our needs go unmet. The result? Our mental health suffers. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply going through a difficult time, I'm here to offer compassionate and understanding care every step of the way. My passion lies in helping you identify and explore the narratives and stories absorbed from childhood experiences and culture—whether from parents, caregivers, family, teachers, or media—and determining if they still align with what truly matters to you today. Book with me now from my website link!

I work primarily with gay/queer individuals and relationships (couples/polycules). Identity, transition, and shame come up regularly in my sessions, and I facilitate exploration of sex, from kink/BDSM to pleasure to communication. I focus on issues like self-blame, perfectionism, and anxiety. With relationships, we'll evaluate your current goals and needs before exploring new ways of connecting, with joy and understanding. Bring your whole self and we'll get curious together.

Accepting new clients! What would you like to have different in your life? You and I will work together to help you meet your goals. For some, it might be to “feel better” and we can figure out what that means for you. Others are looking to get to know themselves better, to figure out what kind of life they want, or how to be their most authentic version of themselves. For some, it is addressing more specific needs, such as anxiety, sadness, feeling stuck, work-life balance, relationships, sexuality, or exploring values.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process. I am inspired by anyone who is willing to reach out to a complete stranger, in order to challenge and heal themselves. I believe safety and non-judgment are among the most important aspects of the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to supporting you as we explore your thoughts and feelings, looking closely at barriers that until now have limited your insights and clarity. Your power to feel better comes from looking inward, instead of out, and I want to help you do the work to get to that healing place.

As a therapist who found myself in the mental health field as a result of a gamut of lived experience – I know too well how difficult it can be to find a therapeutic space where you “fit.” This world is heavy enough without the added difficulty of summoning the strength to reach out for help, only to feel like you must change yourself to access therapeutic support. It’s a terrible, gut-wrenching feeling that I have personally experienced. This will not happen with me. I pride myself on offering an open, honest, and comfortable therapeutic space where clients do not feel the need to censor or otherwise alter themselves.

It is natural to encounter challenges beyond our understanding and ability to manage that induce stress, anxiety and depression. We may have reached a puzzling crossroads in life, we may be in conflict with ourselves and others, or we may want more harmony and direction in our lives. We may have been deeply wounded or traumatized in childhood. Sometimes all we know is we feel anxious, depressed, or something is missing or wrong. Psychotherapy offers powerful approaches to these issues, and the transformation we seek comes naturally from a genuine, healthy human relationship with a skilled, compassionate psychotherapist.

I believe that "what has been broken in relationship must be healed in relationship." (unattributed) Often what brings us to consider therapy is some part of us that feels broken. I see my role as therapist to be a person in your life who listens with curiosity and compassion, while honestly reflecting what may be standing in your way. My hope is to walk along side you to support the journey you are on.
