Accepting clients Last Updated 2 days ago

I use CBT, ACT, DBT, and Relational Cultural Theory to support LGBTQIA+ students with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity concerns. My style is warm and collaborative, helping you build coping skills and discover new perspectives. I create a safe space for growth, healing, and rewriting your story with strength. I believe we're all narrators of our own lives, even when challenges make us feel stuck in difficult chapters.

My pronouns are he/him.
