“Like a lotus flower, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, blossom out of the darkness, and radiate into the world.” I believe meaningful therapy begins with a space where you feel safe enough to show up as your full, authentic self. I work with adults, and some of the areas I have experience with include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and life transitions, among others. I offer LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care and warmly welcome clients exploring body image, sexuality, ethical non monogamy, polyamory, and other parts of authentic self expression.
