Message to clients

Seeking help for your mental health can be a difficult and courageous step. It takes strength and vulnerability to open up to a counselor about the challenges you may be facing. I am excited to be a part of your journey towards healing and growth.

As a mental health counselor, I specialize in supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community and those who have experienced sexual or domestic violence, but I work with individuals from all walks of life. Are you looking to confront your trauma? Learn helpful coping mechanisms for street? Hold yourself accountable to your goals? Explore your identity? Learn more about yourself or increase your self-esteem? I am committed to creating a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination.

I understand that the intersections of identity, trauma, and mental health can be complex and unique to each individual. My approach to therapy is direct and collaborative, meaning that we will work together to identify your goals and tailor our sessions to your specific needs.

Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, PTSD, or navigating your gender identity or sexual orientation, I am here to offer guidance and support. I believe that healing is possible, and I am committed to working with you in the ways that are most helpful to you. Reach out today for a consultation.
