Accepting clients Last Updated 6 days ago

I help LGBTQIA+ students explore identity, gender, and sexuality while supporting challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is client-centered, culturally sensitive, and grounded in relational, feminist, and mindfulness-based practices. I believe your culture and identity are central to your healing journey. Together, we'll build a safe, affirming space where you feel seen and empowered to grow.

My pronouns are she/her.
