LMSW | She/Her

With 12 years of experience, I show up for my clients as a relational, compassionate, and collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to creating a space where you can be fully yourself. I bring a queer-empowering and feminist lens to my work, and as someone who identifies as queer, I understand firsthand how much it matters to feel truly seen. Research shows the therapeutic relationship is the biggest factor in therapy outcomes, so building genuine trust with you is always my first priority. I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
