Being human is a messy, intricate, and beautiful journey. Through my own therapeutic journey, I learned to embrace this complexity and discovered that what I once thought was “wrong” with me was simply human. Now, as a therapist, I create that same space for others—a space where you feel seen, heard, and deeply understood – and be a guide in their healing journeys.

I am a trauma-informed, queer-affirmative therapist who primarily works with adults and teens. My approach is relational and compassionate, grounded in both lived experience and professional expertise. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, navigating childhood trauma, or trying to understand why you’ve been feeling a certain way for so long, I’ll walk alongside you. Together, we’ll explore your inner world and help you gain clarity, self-compassion, and the tools to navigate difficult emotions.

My work is shaped by honoring identity and individuality. I also take a trauma-informed approach, always going at your pace and ensuring you feel comfortable before diving deeper into the hard stuff. My passion for doing trauma work has led me to taking on training in EMDR therapy. I’m also committed to continuous learning and professional growth. Whether it’s through specialized training, reading, or reflecting on my own journey, I believe that staying curious and open is essential to providing the best care.

Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about doing meaningful work to understand yourself, cultivate acceptance, and process the past. Like tending to a garden, we’ll learn the needs of every plant (your needs), uproot old and wilting patches (beliefs that don’t belong anymore), plant and cultivate new seeds (you get to decide), decide who gets to visit our garden (boundaries!), enjoy the fruits of our labor (there will be so many), and at times let the seasons do their thing. Every person’s “garden” is unique, and I’ll help you become its master.

My clients are often kind, thoughtful individuals who value meaningful work and deep connection. They’re seeking the same compassion they so easily give to others. If this sounds like you, know that I’ll meet you where you are, offering a steady, encouraging presence to help you navigate the twists and turns of your healing journey, while also holding space for the moments of joy, growth, and discovery along the way.

In addition to individual counseling, I also offer career counseling services, including resume reviews, interview preparation, and offer negotiation. With prior experience in Talent Acquisition and HR, I understand the challenges of job hunting and navigating professional environments.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll often find me exploring easy hiking trails, enjoying casual PC gaming sessions, or diving into a good book. I have a deep love for writing, and I’m the main contributor to the ABRI blog, where I share pieces about therapy and personal growth. I also dabble in arts and crafts whenever inspiration strikes and enjoy the occasional adventure through travel. And in case you’re wondering—I’m both a cat and dog person.

‘You are not a before and after story. You don’t need to become one either. You are a whole, complex, multi-layered, undefinable, ever-changing human being. Your humanity doesn’t need to be proved.’ – Lisa Olivera
