My Approach

Lunch Delivered

We support LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in therapy, offering a safe and affirming space to explore identity, embrace authenticity, and navigate life’s unique challenges. Many queer and gay clients come to us seeking not just understanding, but a therapist who truly “gets it” and a practice that is an unabashed ally. At Heartwood Counseling and Wellness, we help clients work through difficult family dynamics, strengthen relationships, process experiences of discrimination, and address the stress that can come from living authentically in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. Our goal is to walk alongside you as you build confidence, deepen connections, and live with greater freedom and self-acceptance.

Live authentically.

Working from Home

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know how difficult it can be to find a counselor who is affirming and comfortable talking about LGBTQIA+ issues.  While your identity is integral to who you are and how you experience the world, it’s not the only thing that influences how you move through the world.  I’m here to help you navigate your journey, however that may look for you.
