I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals across all stages of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
I specialize in helping others with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem/self-confidence, imposter syndrome, career exploration, and relationship issues.
Seeking help is a huge first step, and I do my absolute best to make the entire therapeutic process as smooth and easygoing as possible by embracing a positive, eclectic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy.
Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I received my Master of Social Work from at the University of Central Florida. I'm a Florida native, where I've raised my children as a single mom and business owner. I have learned to roll with the punches and enjoy helping others not only survive, but thrive in adversity.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Texas and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado I have made the commitment to help others as they face adversity so as to develop a loving and compassionate relationship with themselves. I bring a wealth of experience and specialized training in addictions and mental health to my practice and there is one common theme I have noticed throughout my career, which is our self-talk. We are our own worst enemies, and this wreaks havoc on our self-esteem.
Have you fallen out of love with yourself because of difficult or challenging life experiences? Perhaps you are finding you are becoming a version of yourself you don't appreciate because your ways of coping with life are no longer effective. I specialize in treating addiction and have a strong focus of working with attachment trauma/PTSD. I have a unique way of incorporating my years of experience as a therapist with EMDR, resulting in individuals feeling seen, heard, and honored.
Trained in IFS
Hi! I am Laura and I provide a compassionate, supportive space for individuals navigating life’s challenges, trauma, or anxiety. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s experiences. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings at their own pace. Many of the people I work with feel stuck or uncertain about how past experiences affect their present lives. I help them build insight, self-compassion, and resilience while guiding them toward their personal goals.
While my focus is on individual work, I also address the impact of relationships on well-being, helping clients navigate interpersonal challenges when they arise. I support clients in strengthening emotional awareness, identifying unhelpful patterns, and developing tools to respond to life’s stressors more effectively.
I am drawn to clients who are curious about their inner world and ready to take steps toward meaningful change, even when it feels challenging. My goal is to walk alongside each client with warmth, respect, and understanding, empowering them to feel more confident in themselves and their choices.
Therapy is a journey, and I’m honored to guide clients as they explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional distress, clarity in your experiences, or a deeper connection to yourself, I provide support that is empathetic, practical, and rooted in your unique path.

Hi, I’m Demetria Agharese, and I help people who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves find their way forward.
My ideal clients are adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside. You may be the person everyone depends on while privately battling anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or the pressure to constantly “hold it all together.”
Maybe your mind won’t shut off. You overthink every decision, question your feelings, replay conversations, worry about what might happen, or feel trapped by thoughts you wish you could turn off. Maybe you’re navigating a breakup, divorce, major life transition, low self-esteem, or simply wondering, “How did I lose myself?”
You don’t have to continue living that way.
I offer a warm, genuine, culturally responsive, and judgment-free space where you can put down the weight you’ve been carrying and talk openly about what’s really happening. I don’t believe therapy should feel like sitting across from someone who simply checks boxes on a diagnosis list. I believe you deserve to feel heard, understood, challenged when needed, and supported throughout the process.
Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavioral strategies, and mindfulness, I help clients break unhelpful cycles, face fears, manage difficult emotions, build confidence, establish healthier boundaries, and become less controlled by anxiety and uncertainty.
Most importantly, therapy with me is collaborative. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. I’m here to help you discover who you are, understand what matters to you, and develop the confidence to live accordingly.
If you’re ready to stop simply surviving and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, confident, and meaningful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Hello! I’m Veronica, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a heart for helping you navigate life’s hurdles. With a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Turabo University of Puerto Rico, I’ve dedicated 10 years to fostering resilience and growth in individuals 18 and older facing anxiety, stress, substance use, and more.
I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can freely express yourself and discover personal solutions. My practice is inclusive, welcoming clients from all backgrounds and sexual orientations. As a bilingual therapist, I provide therapy in both Spanish and English, ensuring you feel heard in the language of your comfort.
Hello, I'm Cheryl.
I believe healing is most effective when we care for the whole person—mind and body together. After more than two decades as a counselor, I returned to school to become a Nurse Practitioner so I could provide more comprehensive care. Today, I combine both perspectives to help people find lasting improvements in their mental and emotional well-being. My background allows me to look at the bigger picture. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, sleep concerns, the emotional impact of a medical condition, or navigating a difficult life transition, we'll work together to understand what is contributing to your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.
I believe every person deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and genuine curiosity. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor each session to your individual needs. My work draws from evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, psychodynamic principles, and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate. The goal isn't to fit you into a particular treatment model—it's to find what works best for you.
I’m Laura, a trauma-informed mental health clinician, ordained minister, and blossoming death doula. I work at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and human transformation, supporting people through trauma, life transitions, grief, and deep identity shifts.
My approach is grounded in clinical training and expanded through lived experience, spiritual exploration, and years of walking alongside people in their most vulnerable moments. I graduated with a Master’s in Counseling from Regis University with honors, where I served as President of the Honor Society, and I’ve been in my own personal therapy journey for over two decades. I believe deeply in what I ask clients to do: to stay curious, honest, and willing to grow.
I work with people who are often highly sensitive, self-aware, and exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, relationship struggles, or major life transitions that leave them questioning who they are and how to move forward.
What brings people to my practice is often not just symptoms, but a deeper longing for clarity, grounding, and reconnection with themselves.

Seeking therapy can feel like a daunting and timely process. It is important to find someone who displays empathy and patience. I am dedicated to demonstrating a non-judgmental environment, where I encourage clients to share their personal story in a safe environment. I encourage healing and empowering clients to seek a life filled with joy and peace. It takes courage to tell your personal story and to learn new ways to cope with current and past life stressors. I encourage clients to explore new passions and ways of thinking and processing emotions to embrace a new sense of identity and to heal from trauma, anxiety and stress.
I work with a wide range of life experiences including : Postpartum, women's issues, relationship issues, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, mid-life transitions and depression.

Currently I am meeting with clients online only on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and Colorado with 18 years of experience. I have worked extensively with young and middle-aged adults with various concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse and PTSD/trauma to eating disorders, relationship challenges and academic & career transition issues. You can expect a safe and non-judgmental space to share your concerns with a supportive, active listener, if you choose to work with me. We can work collaboratively towards identifying concrete solutions that address your individual needs. I am passionate about the mind-body-spirit connection in both my professional and personal life. I am an avid runner and former college athlete, practice regular meditation for my own stress management and personal growth, and I spend lots of time in nature and the outdoors with my family (husband and two boys aged 9 and 13) in all seasons kayaking, camping, hiking, and skiing/snowboarding.
I am a compassionate, grounded, and collaborative therapist who believes in meeting clients where they are and supporting them at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I bring a steady, practical, and nonjudgmental presence to the therapy space, with a focus on helping people make sense of what they’re experiencing while building skills they can use in daily life.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, and co-occurring substance use, especially those who want to better understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I’m particularly well-suited for clients who are motivated for change—even if they’re unsure where to begin—and are open to a collaborative, skills-based approach to therapy.
In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, such as catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking, and replace them with more balanced, realistic perspectives. I incorporate techniques like cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and practical skill-building to support lasting change. I also utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps clients process traumatic experiences and reduce the emotional distress tied to those memories. This approach has been especially effective in helping clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and substance use challenges achieve meaningful, lasting relief.
If you’re dealing with overwhelming anxiety, ongoing sadness, or feelings of self-doubt, know that you’re not alone. Many people reach moments where moving forward can feel difficult or draining. Therapy offers a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to explore what may be getting in your way and to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions. Together, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, finding relief, and fostering self-acceptance, while working toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
There are times in life when our ability to cope is no longer sufficient to get us through a difficult passage or challenge. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed or lost. Therapy with me can help you develop coping skills, build resilience and heal. I am passionate about walking the healing journey with you while focusing on supporting your strengths.
I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years’ experience. I apply my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and relationship/couples counseling to help you recover and develop your natural capacity to experience well-being and live a full, healthy life.

I’m Michael Heckendorn, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a National Certified Counselor. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and new fathers. Many of the young adults I work with are trying to understand who they are, what they want to do with their lives, or how to manage the expectations and uncertainty that come with adulthood. I also support new fathers navigating the major adjustments of parenthood, including changes in identity, relationships, priorities, and emotional well-being. My goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood while gaining greater clarity and direction.
I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and grounded in approaches that have demonstrated clinical effectiveness. My style is directive, solution-focused, and evidence-based, with an emphasis on helping clients understand what is happening, identify what can change, and develop concrete strategies for moving forward.
I view therapy as a collaborative process, while also believing that clients often benefit from a therapist who can provide clear guidance, thoughtful challenge, and practical direction. My goal is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to help you develop lasting skills and a stronger understanding of yourself.
I identify as a Queer, Xicana therapist. I am a step-mom to twin, teenage boys. I specialize in supporting individuals through healing journeys of trauma, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Hello, my name is JoAnn Zerr and I have a Masters in Community Counseling and two licensures with DORA. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and also a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I enjoy connecting and helping clients gain insights, resolve trauma, and learn improved relationship skills. I have been in the feild for over 10 years and try to use research based methods of practice to help manage a wide aray of mental health issues.
Hi, I'm Shelly — a licensed professional counselor with a passion for helping people find their footing when life feels overwhelming. My journey in mental health began decades ago in music therapy, working in psychiatric settings where I first witnessed the remarkable capacity people have to heal when given the right support and a safe space. That foundation shapes the way I work to this day — with attunement, creativity, and a deep belief in each person's capacity to heal.
I specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and addiction recovery, using evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build real, lasting skills rather than just temporary relief. I have a particular heart for neurodivergent individuals — including those with ADHD and autism — who may have spent years feeling misunderstood. You do fit — sometimes it just takes the right space to discover that.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Good therapy isn't just about insight — it's about leaving each session with something you can actually use. I'll meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels right, and work hard to make sure our time together is meaningful.
For clients who desire it, I welcome the integration of faith and spirituality into our work. I believe healing touches the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit — and that for many people, faith isn't separate from their healing but central to it. I hold that with care and without pressure.
Whether you're navigating a specific struggle or carrying a weight you've held for too long, you don't have to do it alone. Reaching out is the hardest step — and I'm really glad you're here.
I'd love the opportunity to connect.
I am human first, and because of that, I can often relate to the challenges others face. I take pride in helping people navigate difficult moments, gain clarity, and build confidence in themselves and their lives. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and strive for their best—even during times of uncertainty or transition. My role is to walk alongside you, offer support and perspective, and help you get there at a pace that feels right for you.
Do you feel stuck and don’t know what else to do? Are you seeking change to help reclaim your joy, health, and well-being? I will help you to genuinely access what exists inside you to help you become clear and confident in yourself and therefore make effective choices aligned with your true self. I draw from various therapeutic approaches to illuminate underlying issues, free up blocks, and heal old wounds.
I am a licensed therapist who helps adults move through anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and the emotional impact of trauma. My approach is calm, compassionate, and down to earth. I create a safe space where clients can slow down, feel understood, and learn practical skills that support real change. I blend Trauma Focused CBT, mindfulness, and strengths based work to help clients feel grounded and confident again.
My goal is to help you reconnect with your sense of self so you can meet challenges with clarity and resilience. I believe healing happens when you feel supported, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels steady and meaningful.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional stress, life transitions, and recovery from unhealthy or narcissistic relationships.
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, integrating evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, and faith-informed counseling when desired. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and supported as they work toward healing, emotional balance, healthier relationships, and personal growth.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping individuals thrive. I have served in a wide range of clinical and leadership roles-therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor-and have worked in diverse settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and most recently, private practice. Licensed as an LPC in Colorado and an LMHC in Florida, I am committed to providing effective, compassionate care that is both present-focused and future-oriented—helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.
If you're reading this, then you have made a tremendously brave and important step in seeking self-betterment through individual counseling. Whether life can seem steady or unsteady at times, we all, nevertheless, lose track of our coping skills and rely on unhealthy habits and poor routines from time to time. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centric, Narrative Therapy, and the best evidence-based practices. My specialties include working with medical issues and physical health, intimate and romantic relationships, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ support, multicultural and diversity issues.
As a social worker for twenty years, I have seen both the incredible hardships that people face as well as human resilience and adaptability. I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and accepted—just as we are. In therapy sessions, I use humor, warmth, and genuine respect to create a safe and supportive space for that purpose.
Welcome.
I work with adults who feel weighed down by sadness, stress, or disconnection—even if they can’t always explain why. Many of the people I support are parents who want to show up with patience and love for their children but find themselves triggered by old wounds or past patterns.
Together, we explore what it means to care for both the child in front of you and the child within you. My approach is somatic and creative, weaving in body awareness, journaling, expressive arts, nature, and reading books.
If you’re seeking healing from attachment wounds, longing to feel lighter, or simply hoping to feel more at home in your own skin, therapy can offer the safe space to begin.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Doctor of Natural and Bioenergetic Medicine, I have dedicated my career to understanding the profound dialogue between the mind and the body. In my years of clinical practice, I began to see a recurring pattern: traditional psychotherapy is powerful, but it often reaches a ceiling when the body’s "biological battery" is depleted. I realized that to truly help my clients heal from the inside out, I needed to bridge the gap between psychological processing and the body’s subtle energy systems.
My approach is built on the premise that your life experiences—your joys, traumas, and daily stressors—do not just live in your memory; they live in your cells and your energetic field. By integrating my clinical LPC background with my doctoral training in bioenergetic medicine, I offer a unique, 360-degree therapeutic experience. We don't just talk about the obstacles in your life; we work to shift the underlying energetic and physiological patterns that keep those obstacles in place.
Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complexities of unresolved trauma, my practice is informed by a deep understanding of human bioenergetics. This allows us to look beyond surface-level symptoms to explore how your environment, your lifestyle, and your body’s unique energy pathways are impacting your emotional resilience. My mission is to guide you toward "Integrated Health"—a state where your mind is clear, your nervous system is regulated, and your spirit is fully aligned.
I’m a mental health professional with a background in counseling, education, human services, and advocacy. I’ve worked with adults, youth, and families navigating relationships, life transitions, identity, stress, and difficult circumstances. My approach is relational, practical, and individualized. I believe therapy is about understanding the whole person, not just the problem that brought you in, and creating meaningful change that carries beyond the therapy room.
I help adults, kids and teens heal from the inside out by weaving together EMDR, attachment work, and nervous system regulation. If you’re navigating trauma, relationship hurdles, or a loss of self-worth. My work is grounded in the belief that you don’t need to be “fixed.” You may have learned to cope by staying busy, staying strong, or staying small — but those patterns made sense at one point.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adults, Veterans, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, chronic health concerns, and systems-related challenges. I’ve worked across medical, community, psychiatric, and government settings, which means I understand how personal struggles are often connected to larger life circumstances—not just what’s happening internally, but what’s happening around you.
Hello, my name is Shannon Dunnan. I specialize at working with individuals struggling with substance use, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, life-transitions, relationships, attachment, and emotion regulation challenges. Reaching out for support can feel both brave and uncertain, but beginning therapy is an important step toward overcoming challenges and learning new ways to manage life’s obstacles. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and accountable space where you can grow, heal, and work toward meaningful change. I look forward to partnering with you to better understand the challenges you are facing and to help you move toward the goals you hope to achieve.
I became a therapist as a second career. In my first career, I worked in marketing and analytics. I graduated with a BA in Advertising with a minor in Marketing. After working in the advertising, research, and business, I went back to school to get my Masters in Counseling.
I have experience working with eating disorders, athletes, anxiety, depression, divorce, conflict, life stressors and life transitions. I was a competitive runner about 10+ years ago which helps me understand athletes.

Trauma Therapist - 22 years experience working with VICTIMS of abuse, all sorts of abuse.
I am a believer in Dreams. I believe Life is short and quality counts. I specialize in motivation and empowerment. I have specialized training in a technique called EMDR, which is especially effective for any type of trauma with rapid results. Honesty, trust, and respect are essential. We can work through anything - Life can be good - I believe in YOU!
My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support.
Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them.
My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, and life’s challenges. My approach combines evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing with empathy and understanding to create a safe, supportive space for growth. I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively to identify goals, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. My goal is to empower you to feel more confident, resilient, and hopeful as you move toward the life you want.
I was born and raised in North Texas, where I studied Social Work at a bachelors and masters level. I started working in the mental health space in 2022, and had had the privilege of serving my community in a wide variety of roles before I eventually became a therapist. My passion for this work is constantly reaffirmed by having countless experiences with clients who demonstrate their ability to address and overcome life stressors, distressing, or traumatic experiences to begin their journey towards fulfillment.
I specialize in treating clients who struggle with suicidal ideation, thoughts of self harm, clients experiencing depression, and clients who have experienced trauma. I work with adults aged 18-72.
I’m a warm, engaged therapist who genuinely enjoys working with the complicated stuff—the patterns that don’t make sense, the coping strategies that worked until they didn’t, and the parts of yourself you might not quite know what to do with.
My approach is curious, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’m an active participant in therapy: I’ll ask questions, help you make connections, offer another perspective when it might be useful, and gently challenge you when we’ve built the trust to do that. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you walk in, and there will probably be some dry humor along the way.
In therapy with me, there’s no judgment, no fluff, and no “one-size-fits-all” solutions. We’ll start where you are whether that’s putting out fires in your daily life or addressing deeper wounds that keep pulling you back. I combine Brainspotting, practical tools, and direct conversation to help you manage today’s struggles while healing the past. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence. I also work with therapists, first responders, and others carrying the weight of the world.
My style is direct, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing is messy but possible. Together, we’ll create a space to explore your emotions, uncover patterns, and build strategies that work for you. It’s not about perfection it’s about progress and reclaiming your life on your terms.

I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 25 years, working with diverse populations. For the past two decades, I’ve focused on veterans and their families, gaining a deep understanding of their unique needs and those of their loved ones. Additionally, I’ve worked with individuals facing chronic health issues, relationship challenges, and trauma, anxiety or depression. Throughout my extensive career, I’ve had the privilege of training in various therapeutic modalities, including Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I firmly believe that the most effective approach lies in blending these modalities to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your individual needs.
I'm fascinated by human existence. What you say, what you mean, what you've been through, how you've survived it, and how you're still standing. I pay attention to the details, the patterns, the stories you tell yourself, and the things you wish other people understood about you. I know what it feels like to feel unseen, overlooked, stuck, anxious, hopeless. I don't have life figured out, but I’ve spent years learning to sit with uncertainty, have hard conversations, and navigate the messy realities of being human. I won’t promise to heal you or have all the answers, but I will promise that I'm committed to helping you better understand yourself. I'm an out-of-the-box therapist. I bring passion, humor, authenticity, and insight.

In addition to providing therapy, I have supervised clinical teams and led mental health programs, giving me a broad perspective on what truly helps people heal.
I offer individual therapy to adults.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and am committed to creating a space where clients of all identities feel respected, understood, and safe to be themselves. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a steady place where you can be honest about what you’re going through—without judgment or pressure to be anything other than yourself. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and helping clients develop practical tools while also making space for deeper healing and self-understanding.
