Are you struggling with self-love and self-acceptance? Do you find yourself fighting with anxiety, addictions, and negative or scattered thoughts? Perhaps you are dealing with issues pertaining to your identity or even going through an existential crisis. I know how hard these times can be because I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you.
Through our work together you will discover deeper levels of self-love, self-acceptance, and mental resilience. We can unearth past traumas and bring you into alignment with your true Self. You will find calmness and clarity of mind, along with the healing you desire. Come see what it's like to be fully yourself in a caring and compassionate presence.
As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, I use a client-centered, humanistic and trauma-sensitive approach to address anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, and issues pertaining to identity and sexuality. Together we can work through whatever obscures the light of your being. Contact me whenever you are ready to start your healing journey.
