In a world that can feel so disconnected, I recognize the importance of fostering genuine connections and empowering my clients through a relational and collaborative approach. I understand that true healing often begins with feeling safe and accepted. My counseling style is rooted in empathy and compassion. I approach counseling with a genuine commitment to understanding your unique experiences and perspectives. I also bring a touch of humor to our sessions when appropriate, recognizing the therapeutic value of laughter in navigating life's complexities. Laughter can be powerful in the healing process, lightening the load and fostering a positive therapeutic environment. I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and people who have experienced trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD (sexual assault, childhood abuse, and relational trauma).
