I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and work with couples and individuals on improving their relationships and quality of life, and therapists on managing a number of experiences that come up through their work. I offer free, 15 minute phone consultations. Starting September 1, 2023 I will be accepting insurance. Currently I accept out-of-network insurance benefits that will support the cost of services. We can verify these benefits prior to the start of services, as many clients have out-of-network benefits and are not aware of it. Thrizer is my payment platform that verifies your insurance benefits and automatically processes claims for you so you can get the most of the session cost reimbursed quickly and for free.

As a queer, non-binary, and neurodiverse person, I understand how it feels to navigate the normative systems in place and how powerful a dedicated, non-judgmental therapy space can be for managing emotions, exploring your inner landscape, and building up new ways of living.

I strive to bring a warm and strengths-focused approach to all my work, and have experience supporting folks with concerns ranging from trauma to mood disorders, neurodivergence to identity exploration, and good old anxiety in hospital, university, and outpatient settings
