I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. If you want to achieve greater self-awareness and understanding, and develop the skills and insights necessary to make positive changes in your life, then let’s talk. I’d love to help you live a fulfilling and satisfying life, free from fear of discrimination or stigma, while cultivating healthy and fulfilling relationships that align with your values and desires. Additionally, if you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I want to provide you with a safe and affirming space.
We can work together on your personal growth, self-compassion, anxiety management, life stressors, as well as supporting you through life transitions. If needed, I’ll work with you from a sex-positive perspective and can support you, no matter what you’re going through.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and daunting experience and I want to support you and help you through it. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, please send an email and I’ll get back to you quickly.
