My practice supports gender-expansive + queer individuals with atypical ways of thinking, feeling + relating. I serve highly intellectual folks + deep thinkers. I specialize in working with "Talented & Gifted burn-out kids" who are in the process of unmasking. Many of my clients are late-diagnosed or un-diagnosed Autistic and/or ADHD. I work with hyper-sensitive, self-aware, highly anxious survivors of complex trauma who experience obsessive thoughts, mental compulsions, executive dysfunction, social withdrawal + sleep disturbances.

My clinical approach is grounded in acknowledging the harm caused by systems of oppression + structural racism. My practice centers intersectional feminist values + disability justice. I am anti-racist + LGBTQIA+ celebratory. ‍As a therapist + human, I recognize + reflect on the privilege I hold + how this has as paved my path.

As your therapist, I will create space for you to go deeper. Whatever needs to present itself will. Therapy is a space for you and it will be what it needs to be. I am here to help you figure out what that is if you aren't sure yet. I will modify my therapeutic orientation to provide the container necessary to hold and empower you.

My clients utilize therapy sessions to zoom out on society and to delve deeper into their own psyches. We will spend time reflecting on your family system, attachment style & how systems of oppression such as ableism may have influenced your access to the support you have always deserved.
