About

As an LGBTQIA+ affirming psychologist practicing since 2016, I provide inclusive online therapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and gender-diverse clients. I offer a confidential, respectful, and nonjudgmental space to explore identity, coming out, gender dysphoria, relationships, family concerns, discrimination, minority stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. My integrative approach draws on affirmative therapy, ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, emotion-focused practices, and collaborative conversation. I respect each client’s identity, pronouns, values, spirituality, and individual pace, supporting greater self-acceptance, emotional well-being, resilience, and authentic living.
