Why choose to work with me?

My expertise lies in helping you blossom into your most radiant and confident self.

I specialize in supporting trauma survivors, LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent people, and introverts who seek a balance between creative space and meaningful connections.

Don't worry if you're uncertain about your identity or needs – you're definitely in the right place! I work with all sorts of people and welcome anyone who feels they might be a good fit.

What Clients Say About Me

Clients often tell me they feel at ease sharing with me, and I work hard to create an atmosphere that feels accepting and free of judgment. They value my honesty and trust that I’m open to owning my mistakes.

My focus is on helping you feel supported and understood throughout our work together. Your choices and needs are always at the center of what we do.

If something doesn’t sit well with you, please let me know—I’m here to honor your boundaries and adjust as needed. Together, we’ll create a space where even the most painful experiences or ways of being can be met with deep support and compassion.

Even when we explore challenging topics, it’s important to me that you leave feeling steady and ready to move through the rest of your day. If something feels uncomfortable, we’ll take the time to work through it together. Your sense of support matters deeply to me, and I hope you’ll let me know if there’s ever a moment when that feels missing.

  • you are a person worth knowing and loving.

  • you can connect with others without compromising your identity.
