Wellbeing is our birthright, though it may not always feel that way. Years of conditioning, trauma, as well as the challenges of life, can to obscure our innate vitality. We may feel ourselves locked into cycles of stress, or caught in patterns of thinking or behaving that don't serve us. Moving into relaxed harmony with life is possible for all of us, regardless of identity or condition.

Looking for a fresh perspective on mental health and support? As a neurodivergent, queer, and disabled therapist, I know what it is like to not see yourself in your therapist. I'm a therapist with ADHD- I'm going to understand the grief you feel when talking about your past and how different it would have been if the world was built with neurodiverse people in mind. I'm a therapist with chronic illness- I'll understand how flares, injustice, and medical trauma effects your brain and your inner world. This world was not made for us in mind, but my counseling space was. Welcome!

Sometimes there are parts of ourselves, our desires, or our pasts that are difficult to share with others. This could be because of a lack of acceptance or support in your social world, and could be related to feelings of fear, shame, or disgust. I work with clients to build a relationship in which it is safe enough for clients to bring disowned parts of themselves into compassionate awareness as they develop a sense of wholeness. Throughout this deep internal work, I ask curious questions about environmental factors in order to support liberation from internalized oppression and self-blame.

Stressed and stuck in your closest relationships...Curious about non-monogamy but unsure where to start...Looking for nonjudgmental guidance navigating dynamics within polyamory and kink — not to mention managing all of this under capitalism.

That said, i am open to working within all therapeutic theories and modalities and believe that your therapeutic space should be exactly that – /your/ therapeutic space.
