Life can get overwhelming at times, but no one needs to go through it alone. If you find yourself busy, burnt out, or seeking some balance and support, it’s time to reach out!

In our work together, I will help you look for new perspectives, challenge you to change, and respect your thoughts and feelings. We will collaborate together to come up with creative solutions to the barriers you’re coming across in your life, whether they are peer or significant relationships challenges, identity exploration, or work related stressors.

I have experiences working with individuals and couples dealing with a variety of challenges in life. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist who that supports individuals with relationships & transitions, and those who are managing anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Through years of experience, I have implemented change through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused counseling, and holistic counseling.

I offer in person and telehealth sessions so we can connect from the comfort of your home or office.
