I work with queer, trans, and gender expansive adolescents, adults, and/or couples on identity exploration and transition, neurodiversity exploration, grief processing, and trauma/PTSD. I am relationship-affirming of all styles of relationships (non-monogamy, polyamory, queer platonic, etc.), and specialize in intimate partner violence (IPV) within the LGBTQIA2S community. My IPV background also lends itself to exploring relationship identities, attachment styles, and building healthy relationships (with yourself and/or others).
I’m a non-binary, neurodivergent, nerdy, witchy, queerdo. I laugh a lot, I unmask as much as I can (and offer you the space to do the same), and yes, I do want to see pictures of your pets. You know your brain better than I ever could, and I am delighted to bring my tools and knowledge to the therapeutic relationship to help you know you better.
“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.” - Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House
