Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling academic pressure, career decisions, family expectations, and the stress from everyday life. If you're here, something in your life may feel heavy, uncertain, or stuck. You don’t have to navigate this stage of life alone. I work with college students and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. This stage of life can bring pressure to “have it all together,” even when you feel overwhelmed underneath. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything. You show up as you are, and together we build clarity, practical coping skills, confidence, and resilience. I hold a master’s degree in social work and a bachelor’s degree in communication, and my approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to tailor our work to your goals and experiences. Reaching out is often the hardest step-and it can also be the beginning of meaningful growth. If you’re ready, I invite you to connect so we can take the next step together.

I am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in LGBTQ+ care. In my private practice, I offer individual and couples therapy sessions as a sexual, gender, and relational diverse provider with expert training and over ten years of service to the community. I sought additional training in couples therapy, sex therapy, and diverse relationship structures. My practice is also geared towards supporting alternative sexuality communities, including kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and polyamory. My mission has always been to be a knowledgeable therapist so that my clients don't feel like they are educating me about their lives and can feel safe knowing they will not be judged for who they are.

I’ve always believed in the transformative power of connection. In this field, we have the privilege of working closely with individuals to support them though their struggles. Being able to offer a non-judgmental, compassionate space where someone feels heard and understood is something that inspires me every day. My goal is to establish a compassionate and empowering environment for every individual I have the privilege to work with. The core of my practice is grounded in ensuring a secure and empathetic space for the healing journey. If you’re seeking guidance and support to navigate your current challenges and enhance your overall well-being, I’m here to collaborate with you and provide guidance throughout this process. Building trust starts with creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions. I prioritize listening actively and attentively, ensuring that clients feel genuinely heard and understood without fear of judgment. Equally important is respecting their autonomy throughout the process. Together, we work to identify goals and strategies that align with their values and needs, fostering a sense of shared ownership in the therapeutic process. By creating a collaborative and transparent relationship, I help clients feel more secure and confident in their journey toward healing.
