Are you navigating the challenges of living outside the norm and finding it hard to feel understood? Whether you’re a member of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, nonmonogamous, kinky, neurodivergent or just someone who’s seeking a space to feel fully accepted, I’m here to support and facilitate your goals. I’m here to offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore your unique experiences, process challenges, and work toward your personal goals. Together, we can build a path that honors your identity and values while fostering resilience and self-acceptance.
It's important for me to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. I use frameworks like Attachment Theory and Psychodynamic therapy. However I am also trained in DBT and ACT, which focus more on changing thinking patterns and behavior. Each client benefits from a personalized approach that best fits their personality and their challenges.
Navigating systems of oppression can feel lonely, isolating, and bring up a lot of anxiety. You don't have to navigate your issues alone. I'm here to support you and to help you make progress on your journey to finding your true self, your inner joy and a sense of peace.
