About me
As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse experiences—from relationship dynamics and identity exploration to managing stress, anxiety, and personal growth.
I bring deep expertise in supporting the LGBTQ+ community, addressing workplace challenges, and helping individuals work through issues related to self-esteem, communication, and personal purpose. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on understanding each client's unique journey and strengths.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of focus areas, including supporting young adults, addressing midlife transitions, managing mood disorders, and helping individuals cope with significant life changes. I'm committed to providing empathetic, culturally responsive care that honors each person's individual experience and supports their path toward healing and self-discovery.
