THERAPEUTIC VALUES

I believe therapy should be a safe place where you feel accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to create an affirming, supportive space where your story, identity, and experiences are respected and valued.

 

As a licensed mental health counselor, I welcome individuals of all gender identities, including trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people. I also recognize that our identities—race, culture, sexuality, ability, and beyond—shape the way we experience the world. In therapy, all parts of you are welcome.​​​

A Space of Belonging​​ ​​

 

You don’t have to explain or defend who you are here. I honor your identity and your truth, and I work to build a relationship where you feel safe, understood, and at home.​ ​

​

Compassionate Support​​ ​​

 

I bring warmth, curiosity, and openness to every session. I want you to feel that this is your space—where you can show up authentically and know you’ll be met with respect and care.​ 

 

Strength & Growth​ ​

​

Therapy isn’t just about working through struggles—it’s also about uncovering your strengths. Together, we’ll explore what makes you resilient, and we’ll build tools to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope. 

 

Recognizing the Bigger Picture

 

Life’s challenges don’t happen in a vacuum. I understand the impact that discrimination, social pressures, and systemic barriers can have on mental health. My role is to listen, validate your experiences, and stand alongside you as you navigate those realities.​​​​​ ​
