About

I’m a compassionate, client-centered therapist who believes healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about creating a safe, affirming space where you can be fully yourself. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to seek support, and I meet each client with warmth, respect, and care—exactly where they are. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals, including sex workers, and those navigating complex trauma and anxiety. My work is grounded in affirmation, collaboration, and non-judgment, helping clients build resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful tools for healing.
