My approach is for those ready to embrace meaningful change by exploring their life stories, understanding emotional patterns, and learning to live through—not around—their feelings. Emotions aren’t problems to fix; they’re messengers
to listen to.
​
By gently meeting what is—with compassion for our natural human behaviors—I offer a space where clients feel heard, supported, and seen as inherently resourceful. Like you, I’ve faced life’s stressors, ruminating thoughts, and profound loss. Over the years, I’ve provided mental health services to hundreds of clients from across more than ten countries, spanning diverse racial, cultural, religious, and social identities. Still, I don’t consider myself an “expert" so I stay curious, committed to honoring your individual experience. My practice is a safe, inclusive space for all humans, including those in the Veteran, LGBTQ+, body-positive, and sex-positive communities.​​​

Yoga & Somatic Therapy
Through mindful movement, breathwork, and somatic reprocessing, we work with the wisdom of the physical body to help process emotions and lived experiences at a pace that feels safe and is trauma-informed. This bottom-up approach supports the nervous system in restoring a sense of grounding and presence, which can be especially healing for individuals with complex or developmental trauma.
LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy
Offers a safe, affirming space to explore the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, including family dynamics, identity exploration, and coming out. This style of counseling focuses on building resilience, self-acceptance, and empowerment while addressing the emotional impact of societal stigma and fostering authentic self-expression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT informed therapy, offers a skills-based, evidence-supported approach that helps individuals manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and increase self-awareness. Drawing on the four core DBT pillars—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—this approach empowers clients to create balance, strengthen coping strategies, and make meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Coaching
My coaching approach is grounded in collaborative, strengths-based practices that support clients in clarifying goals, overcoming blocks, and taking intentional action. Rather than offering advice, I facilitate insight, accountability, and growth through structured reflection and empowering dialogue.
