Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be in a helping role. Growing up, I had a lot of amazing support from family, friends, and therapists. Now that I’m an adult, I want to be that support for someone else. I am passionate about advocating and uplifting people and am so excited to continue that as a therapist.
As a queer, trans, chronically ill, and autistic person, I bring lived experience into the therapy space. These identities shape how I move through the world, and they deeply inform my practice. I’m committed to creating a space that is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in care for those who hold these and other marginalized identities.
