About My Clients
My ideal client is seeking support for their challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, and values a safe, inclusive space. They may or may not identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or military members and seek a therapist who understands their unique experiences. They are open to exploring their feelings, committed to personal growth, and ready to embrace new coping strategies. They seek a compassionate, understanding guide to help navigate life’s complexities and foster resilience.
My Background and Approach
I am a passionate therapist and open member of the LGBTQIA+ community with a personal journey that fuels my passion for helping others. Having faced anxiety, depression, trauma, and the challenge of navigating unhealthy coping mechanisms, I understand the struggle to reclaim control over one’s life. My experiences inspire me to create a safe, welcoming space for clients, particularly those in the LGBTQIA+ community, first responders, and military personnel. My therapeutic approach is multifaceted, incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I focus on fostering psychological flexibility, acceptance, and mindfulness, helping clients confront their challenges with resilience. I believe in the importance of the therapist-client connection, as it lays the groundwork for effective therapy. Together, we can navigate life’s complexities, empowering you to embrace your journey toward healing and growth with compassion and understanding.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I advocate for inclusivity and acceptance, recognizing the unique experiences and struggles faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds. In my personal life, I am passionate about exploring the arts, nature, and mindfulness practices that foster well-being. I enjoy connecting with others through community events, workshops, and discussions about mental health and resilience. I also value continuous learning and staying informed about emerging therapeutic techniques, ensuring I can offer the best support to my clients.
