Healing can only happen by allowing your pain and your hopes to be witnessed. So many people suffer in silence, carry burdens of intergenerational trauma or being neurodivergent in a world not built for them, and have never REALLY been given the space to use their voice. If this describes you, you belong here. Part of my goal as your therapist is to help you find your voice again (or perhaps for the first time) and have the opportunity to be truly seen and heard. I will bring full presence, respect, and compassion to our work together to support you in moving toward the life you desire and deserve.
I'm passionate about working with adults and teens navigating depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, sexual issues, trauma, and cultural / identity challenges. I am an activist, feminist, size-neutral, and sex-positive human who is dedicated to smashing the patriarchal and heteronormative views of beauty, worth, and roles.
I am called to do this work by my belief in collective care, and my desire to experience— and help others experience— deeper human connection. My goal as your therapist is to celebrate your milestones, walk with you as you navigate the crossroads, and hold the space with you in the hard times. I would be honored to support you on your path.
