I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing affirming, trauma-informed care to LGBTQ+ adults across California. My practice is rooted in somatic trauma therapy, and I work with many clients navigating identity exploration, coming out or inviting others in to who they are when they feel safe to do so, religious or family rejection, attachment trauma, relationship patterns, and high-functioning anxiety.

As an LGBTQ+-affirming therapist, I approach identity with humility, curiosity, and deep respect. I understand that sexuality and gender identity do not exist in isolation — they intersect with trauma history, family systems, culture, race, perfectionism, and the nervous system. My work integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing to support clients in healing shame, internalized stigma, relational wounds, and chronic hypervigilance.

I provide care for clients who are:
• Exploring sexual orientation or gender identity
• Navigating coming out
• Healing from religious trauma or family rejection
• Recovering from toxic or abusive relationships
• Processing complex trauma (CPTSD)
• Working through body image and self-worth struggles

I am committed to ongoing education in LGBTQ+ affirming care and continuously seek consultation and training to ensure my practice remains inclusive, informed, and responsive to the needs of queer, trans, and nonbinary clients.

My goal is to offer a space where you do not have to explain or defend who you are — where your identity is respected, affirmed, and integrated into the broader context of your healing.
