My primary goal is to make you feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. We will collaborate on how to dig into therapy and what approach works best for you. I help my clients tap into the resiliency they already have to figure out how they can support themselves and ask for support from others. You will learn to harness your existing strengths towards achieving your goals and lasting change. I help my clients give themselves permission to explore their identities and anxieties in a safe, affirming environment. I'm here to support you as you get curious about your past, present, and future.
I take an integrative approach with a foundation in strength based feminist therapy. I work with clients to explore and tap into their feelings, desires, and needs. I help people find individuals, community, and resources that make them feel supported and seen. I work with individuals who struggle in their identities, and in their current relationships.
As a queer identified and intersectional therapist, I want to help you figure out your authentic self and how to thrive. I specialize in LGBTQ+ identities, anxiety, depression, and trauma using a queer and multicultural framework. My style is warm and engaging which allows us to work together towards sustainable change. I look forward to hearing your story.
