As a therapist, I am here to join with you in your efforts to make positive change in your life. My goal is to partner with my clients in efforts to identify a sense of self and work towards goals that will aid in living a life that is meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling. Life is complex, dynamic and full of challenges. Many of us lose our way and need help at times to find our path forward. My motivation as a therapist is to help you find that path.
I utilize talk therapy in a safe and comfortable space that is inviting for clients. I am here to join beside you in exploring and creating a meaningful life. I work with clients of all backgrounds, with a focus on the LGBTQ+ population. Utilizing trauma-informed care, I work to create a space for vulnerability that feels safe and accessible.
I'm here and ready to meet you! Consider taking the next step in opening up your life to a new type of support and we can work together to build connection and meaning. Taking the first step can feel overwhelming. I'm here to help guide you along the experience of therapy at a pace that's the right fit for you and your life.
