Find a therapist who specializes in your needs

My Approach

Are you unhappy about where you are in life and fear others won't accept you for who you are? Do you feel as though you have to hide facets of yourself? Do you feel stuck and want to change?

If so, you may find it helpful to connect with someone who has been through these feelings and understands the challenge of managing feelings of anxiety, stress, isolation, insecurity, and even depression. I understand the struggles with exploring one's identity and finding the confidence to love and value your unique self.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ concerns, career exploration, career development concerns, stress, anxiety, eating disorders, perfectionism, social skills, procrastination/motivation and ADHD. I utilize an eclectic approach incorporating elements of evidenced-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Existential, Feminist, and Queer-Affirming Therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs.

As a queer therapist, I am familiar with the nuances of queer culture and identity, and can provide insight and support for clients who are navigating these issues. My approach focuses on exploring what makes each individual thrive, providing empathy and understanding, free from judgment and societal expectations.

Even if you see obstacles in your path you feel like you cannot overcome, you have unique strengths that can help you overcome these. I can help you identify these strengths within yourself, and collaboratively, we can create a plan to help you realize your full potential.

Modern, accessible mental healthcare

I am committed to providing affirming counseling grounded in the belief that every individual should be accepted and valued for who they are. By creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can freely explore their thoughts and feelings, without fear of rejection or discrimination, I approach therapy in a way that acknowledges and respects the unique experiences and challenges faced by clients from marginalized communities.

I strive to do my part in working toward a world where all individuals have equal access to counseling, regardless of their physical abilities, financial resources, or geographic location. I offer services online and via phone across multiple states, provide flexible daytime and evening scheduling options, and offer a limited number of income-based sliding scale slots to clients who may not be able to afford traditional therapy.

Queer-Affirming

One key aspect of queer-affirming therapy is the recognition of the unique experiences and challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals face, including discrimination, stigma, and the fear of rejection from family, friends, or society.

I work with clients to explore issues related to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and how these identities intersect with other aspects of their lives such as race, ethnicity, religion, or culture. I believe every person, irrespective of their sexual or gender identity, is deserving of respect, dignity, and support.

I strive to create a secure and validating environment, which can assist LGBTQ+ individuals in enhancing their self-acceptance, resilience, and overall sense of well-being.
