I am a licensed therapist with 11 years of experience, providing trauma-informed and identity-informed care for individuals, couples, families, and LGBTQ+ groups. As a queer-affirming and feminist practitioner, I prioritize creating a safe, inclusive space where clients—particularly those from marginalized communities—can explore their identities, emotions, and relationships without judgment or pressure to conform. My practice emphasizes authenticity, trust, and collaboration, recognizing that the therapist-client relationship is central to healing.

I provide affirming therapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, intersex, and questioning clients. I support clients navigating trauma histories, minority stress, identity development, relationship challenges, grief, mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and complex mental health challenges such as self-harming behaviors, psychosis, dual diagnosis, and stress-related difficulties. I also work with clients involved in kink or sex-positive communities, as well as sex workers, creating affirming, nonjudgmental support for sexual health and identity.

Clinically, I integrate evidence-based and holistic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and eclectic coaching approaches. My work focuses on building coping skills, emotional regulation, self-awareness, resilience, and values-based living.

Supervised by Dr. Sonya M. Gonzales, LCSW-S, LCDC, SAP, I am committed to ongoing professional development in LGBTQ+ mental health, culturally sensitive care, and trauma-informed practices. My goal is to support LGBTQ+ clients in feeling seen, heard, affirmed, and empowered to live authentically, build healthy relationships, and cultivate meaningful, fulfilling lives.
