I focus on supporting queer and neurodivergent people, couples, children, and families. My clients often face challenges in understanding their identities, navigating relationships, or belonging in their environments. They seek not only to address specific issues such as communication breakdowns, emotional dysregulation, or life transitions but also aim to achieve deeper self-understanding and acceptance. Utilizing systemic and humanistic therapies, I offer a compassionate space where clients can explore their needs and goals. Together, we will work to foster stronger connections, enhance self-esteem, and improve overall well-being.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I use my experience, knowledge, and training to provide an affirming space for all. Incorporating experiential modalities like art, sand, and play therapy, I adjust my approach to meet the unique needs of each person, couple, and family. With each modality, I carefully balance empathy while challenging harmful or old patterns.

I wholeheartedly believe that healing is closer than it feels at this moment. I am intimately familiar with the trust, rigor, and dedication this path requires. I am committed to being a witness to your story, healing, and growth. I look forward to hearing from you and starting this process of transformation together. Send me an email to get started!

Trauma and PTSD

My clients often have trauma and usually identify as neurodivergent and/or queer. The first priority is always safety and establishing effective coping mechanisms to weather the fierce waves of emotions. Once we know we can survive these surges, we will learn to become curious about these intense feelings. In this process, the feelings will soften, allowing you to move through them and find peace.
