About me
I am a licensed professional counselor dedicated to supporting neurodivergent individuals and the LGBTQ+ community navigate life's challenges with compassion and expertise. I specialize in working with adults, children, and adolescents exploring questions of identity while managing anxiety and depression, though I welcome clients of all ages, from 5 to 99, and all walks of life.
My practice is built on the understanding that each person's journey is unique. Whether you're a young person grappling with your identity, a parent seeking guidance, or an adult working through longstanding patterns, I create a safe and affirming space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. I recognize that neurodivergent minds work differently, not deficiently, and that LGBTQ+ identities deserve celebration, not merely tolerance. Throughout my career, I've gained extensive experience addressing a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, from mood disorders and trauma to relationship difficulties and life transitions. This versatility enables me to tailor my approach to meet you where you are, using evidence-based techniques specifically designed to address your needs and goals. My commitment goes beyond clinical expertise. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and understood. I strive to be more than just a counselor; I aim to be a collaborative partner in your growth, helping you build resilience, self-acceptance, and the tools to thrive. Whether you're facing a crisis or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support your journey toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.
