Introduction

Finding a therapist who understands your experiences and makes you feel comfortable being yourself can make all the difference. I work with women and LGBTQ+ adults navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, with an emphasis on creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and free from judgment. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, where we can explore what's important to you, recognize your strengths, and work toward meaningful change together. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. I also incorporate mindfulness, acceptance-based techniques, and trauma-informed care to help you manage difficult emotions, recognize patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Drawing from my experience working with women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people navigating trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges, I tailor each session to your unique needs. Together, we'll explore what matters most to you, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies you can apply in everyday life.
