My Approach

Therapy is most effective when you feel truly understood. As someone who has lived experience navigating identity, societal expectations, and the pressures of belonging in the LGBTQIA+ community, I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel. These experiences have shaped the way I approach therapy—with empathy, authenticity, and a deep understanding of the resilience and courage it takes to carve out your own path.
