Starting the therapy process takes enormous courage, and I sincerely applaud you for taking this first step. If you are ready to demystify your suffering and find liberation from the burdens that limit your quality of life, you're in the right place. I most enjoy supporting my clients in exploring and making meaning of their past experiences in order to live a much more fulfilling present and future. I will help you draw upon your own internal strengths to become the best possible version of yourself, live your best possible life, and empower you to maintain that life ongoing.
As a queer therapist firmly rooted in a culturally humble framework, I have a passion for serving culturally diverse groups. My approach is authentic and collaborative; my primary focus is to cultivate a genuine and meaningful relationship with you that is built on a foundation of safety, trust, and unwavering respect for you as the expert of your own life.
If you are looking to more deeply explore and understand your internal world, identify the sources of your distress and suffering, and make lasting improvements to your quality of life, we might be an excellent fit. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you!
