I strive to meet clients where they are while also gently encouraging meaningful change. I am a Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD) therapist and I aim to create a safe, affirming space where clients—particularly those who identify as LGBTQ+—can feel understood, respected, and supported in exploring their experiences without judgment. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to each client’s needs, offering room for reflection, emotional processing, and gaining new perspectives. My approach blends skills-based and depth-oriented work. I often draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and coping with day-to-day stressors, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed parts work to deepen self-understanding and explore how identity, relationships, and past experiences shape the ways we move through the world. I only work with adults 18+, individuals, no couples. I am also part of the San Diego GSRD Therapist Forum.
