“I aim to serve as a trustworthy guide and confidant as you set goals that are right for you. My approach is trauma-informed, recognizing the deep impact of past experiences on your current wellbeing. I have extensive training and experience working with queer and/or trans clients, those processing religious trauma, and those on journeys of body acceptance.”
