If you’ve made it to my bio page, chances are you’re considering professional mental health support—and just as importantly, you’re wondering if we might be a good fit. Therapy is most effective when you feel truly understood, supported, and respected by your therapist. While credentials and training matter, the therapeutic relationship itself plays a crucial role in creating meaningful change. That’s why I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right match before scheduling an intake appointment.

My Approach & Philosophy

I pursued a career in therapy with a deep commitment to supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community—people who, like myself, may feel more comfortable working with an LGBTQ+ provider in a therapeutic setting. Over time, my approach has evolved, incorporating new therapeutic techniques and insights, but one thing has remained constant: my belief that therapy should be a space for healing, reflection, and personal growth—free from fear or judgment.

I see myself as a trusted guide in your journey of self-discovery, healing, or relational growth. My approach is personalized and collaborative—tailored to your unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. In our initial conversation, I’ll ask about the challenges you want to work on and provide an honest perspective on what realistic outcomes might look like. Throughout our work together, we’ll regularly check in on your goals and adjust as needed to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.

Creating a Safe & Affirming Space

Above all, my priority is to provide a safe, affirming environment where you can do the deep work of healing and self-exploration. Here’s how I cultivate an emotionally safe space:

✔ Sex-Positive, Kink-Affirming, and Nonjudgmental Approach – Your identity, relationships, and experiences are valid and respected.

✔ Collaborative Treatment Planning – We co-create your therapy goals to ensure they align with your needs and priorities.

✔ Transparent & Open Feedback – I actively invite feedback on your progress and make adjustments to our work as needed.

✔ Ethical, Client-Centered Care – If we’re not the best fit, I will support you in finding a therapist who is.

✔ Commitment to Privacy & Security – All sessions and communications are conducted via HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platforms to protect your confidentiality.

Let’s Connect

Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and I want to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward. If you’re ready to take the next step, I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your goals, and determine if we’re a good fit for working together.

I look forward to meeting you.
