Hello! I invite you to a therapeutic space where we can explore the hidden and vulnerable parts of your life, while also celebrating the strong and magical aspects.
As a therapist, I work from a foundation that is trauma-informed, queer-affirmative, and culturally sensitive. My work with clients focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of my clients’ constructions of the world and their selves.
