Great to meet you!

I am passionate about providing affirming care to individuals who are trans, non-binary, gender-expansive, gender-questioning, queer & those with experiences of queer sexualities or nonmonogomous relationship structures. I also have specialized experience supporting folks on the neurodivergent (ND) spectrum and folks managing chronic illness.

My approach to therapy

With my warm, empathetic approach, I prioritize listening to and attending to the needs of your whole self-including your body, spirit, and mind with the goal of restoring a deeper connection to your most authentic self. My integrated approach is tailored to your needs, as I draw from many modalities including mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, parts work, and body-based models.

What you can expect from me

Living in a marginalized body and identity can lead to chronic stress, fatigue, burnout, overwhelm, depression/anxiety and erosion of self trust (amongst other things!). I'm here to help you unlearn harmful messaging, unmask and live with more ease and freedom as more of your whole authentic self!
