My vision is to help clients get away from dysfunction to full potential, to help them live a life worth living.

I am passionate about working with individuals who feel that life is unmanageable and they feel out of step with the world.

When invited into that space of struggle I will seek to provide a space for you to gain skills, find support to increase connections, safety and individual strength.

My passion to work with the LGBTQIA2S+ community, & adolescents & young adults stems from wanting to provide the therapy & be that person I wish I could have had growing up. Being part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I strive to make an inclusive environment for all clients that I see. I strive to make a warm & inviting atmosphere, & want to make sure that the therapeutic environment can foster a safe & open place to be able to discuss any matters that are important to my clients. I hope to provide a trusting & nonjudgmental environment to challenge & also work alongside you to see the growth & progress that you may be seeking.
