Message to clients

I specialize in providing affirming care to LGBTQ+ adults. Clients who enjoy working with me typically either have concerns related to sexuality/gender identity (i.e., coming out) and/or want to work with a therapist who is specifically connected to and trained in working with the LGBTQ+ community. I also strive to help clients understand how societal influences shape their experiences and empower them to reclaim agency for themselves and their communities. My clinical approach is grounded in a relational, feminist orientation, which means I emphasize the importance of authentic connection and collaboration in therapy. I enjoy creating a safe, affirming space for all clients. Together, we’ll explore your unique story and help you meet your goals.
