Personal Statement

I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation for healing, so I do my best to provide a therapeutic space that is safe and free of judgment for all diverse individuals, relationships, and families.

As a queer identifying therapist, I understand the value of competent and affirming mental healthcare. I'm proud to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment for all individual, relationship, and family therapy services. My focus includes, but is not limited to, working with LGBTQ+, TGNB/Gender Diverse, Consensual Non-Monogamous, and Student Athlete communities and their loved ones.
