Are you craving deeper connection with yourself? This journey is multifaceted and sometimes feels impossible. It often requires learning how to relate to ourselves and our realities in new ways that challenge us at first. Having the support of a fellow human that has passion, experience and tools to offer in this process can help! Many of us have not experienced many connections that make us feel safe, understood, accepted, and encouraged. Providing this therapeutic space is an honor for me. I would love to meet you where you are, offer my full attention to your needs, and collaborate with you to identify your ideal steps forward.
I am a great fit for folx who: crave self-understanding and self-love, have interest in holistic wellness/mind-body-heart connection, are navigating spirituality at any stage, need a safe space to explore sexuality and/or other forms of identity, are ready to unpack the impact of traumas and find healing, or generally hope to feel more empowered and alive.
This will be a relaxed, caring and empowering space for you to be you. I value being a present & intuitive guide for deeper self-connection. I am passionate about fostering insights that promote long-term life improvements, hope, and freedom from suffering. Many have had negative or unhelpful therapy experiences...I am passionate about offering the opposite.

I love working with those exploring their identity and/or healing traumas because I believe these are some of the most empowering processes in life; but they are sometimes overwhelming, lonely and confusing. Learning how to heal traumas, relate to spirituality, and how to fully embrace being gay have all been pivotal in my own life. I would love to support you in your own unique journey.

I am what's called an "eclectic" therapist! I find it most effective to integrate approaches and tools from a wide range of therapy theories and treatment types. I have experience with many, but am especially passionate about incorporating methods that support accessing parts of self beyond the mind. I am always learning more and value being flexible, attuned and strategic in my approach.
