Counselor for Teens and Young Adults | LGBTQ Affirming

Pretending to be someone you’re not. Wondering if you’ll ever feel fully seen. Relationships that leave you confused about what healthy even looks like. Anxiety, low mood, and self-doubt that make it all heavier.
You’ve been trying to figure it out on your own, and it’s exhausting. You’re ready to stop performing and start living as yourself.
How I Can Help
I work primarily with LGBTQ+ young adults navigating identity exploration, coming out, discrimination, and the relationship dynamics that come with being authentically you. I also support clients through depression, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. My practice is LGBTQ+ and gender identity affirming, and my approach is warm, direct, and grounded in [evidence-based practices, e.g., CBT, Narrative Therapy, Attachment-based work].
Whether you’re questioning, coming out, or learning what a healthy relationship looks like for you, you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll break patterns that don’t serve you and build a life that actually feels like yours.

A Little About Me
I love to read, write, and bake — especially bread — and spends plenty of time outdoors and relaxing with my cat. Supernatural tops my list of favorite shows, alongside Sense8, Young Royals, and Merlin. Green is my favorite color, and my go-to self-care is journaling paired with a comfort show.
