Great to meet you!

My areas of focus are anxiety, BPD, gender, sexuality, grief/ loss, trauma, and life transitions; with an approach that is neuro inclusive. I believe that our experiences, life connections, and environments, often impact how we move through the world in both challenging and supportive ways, and that we can learn more about ourselves through them.
