Introduction

I am passionate about making the world a safe and healthy place for all people to find joy and meaning. I am a member of/advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and that drives my desire to create an affirming, supportive environment for those struggling to find their way. Whether they identify as LGBTQ or not, I support people dealing with self-acceptance, questions about identity, life transitions, trauma and more. I work with both SC and CA residents. I offer talk therapy and EMDR.
