I have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms as well as people struggling with coming out, questioning their sexual or gender identity, and other issues connected with the unique experiences of being LGBTQIA+ in our society. My approach is collaborative. We will work together to identify your goals, develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and experiences, explore what may be interfering with your ability to live a fulfilling life, increase healthy self-esteem and coping skills, and overcome the harmful effects of social oppression and discrimination.

One thing I do daily that supports my mental and emotional well-being is designate 1-2 hours a day to 'unplug' and engage in activities that don't require screens or social media. In today's culture, we can get glued to our phones and it's nice to have some time for myself where I can nurture my creativity.

The TrevorProject and Colors LGBTQ+ Youth Counseling Center are my two favorite non-profit organizations. Both offer free services to support LGBTQ+ youths and their families.

My favorite way to recharge is curled up under my weighted blanket with hot tea and a great movie, TV show, or book.

Yes, I have a cat and a bearded dragon. They don't really get along, but my favorite memory was the only time they both cuddled up on my lap for a nap one afternoon.
