Great to meet you!

My specializations include Neurodivergent, Queer, Anxious/OCD, Depression and CPTSD/PTSD/Trauma/Crisis care. I am poly,non-monogamy, and kink aware. Sexual identity and Gender identity. Social justice ally.

Maybe you've been feeling like it's been harder to keep things together, or you've got goals you'd like to reach or a decision to make but a little something keeps pulling at you. Maybe you've been feeling more isolated or are experiencing roadblocks in your relationships, at work, at school, during social situations, or within yourself. Maybe you're experiencing the “wonderment” as you embark on this journey they call life.

My approach to therapy

I’m here to support you! I’m honest, compassionate, approachable, mindful, respectful, and committed to assisting as you navigate your path, with you leading the way and being your best expert, as we explore the space you're in. Our work will be empowering, small changes can have big impacts, and while we can always control changes that have happened in our lives, we can control how those changes impact us. My goal is to be a trusted, unwavering, safe support on your journey.

What you can expect from me

I can assist you in exploring life's moments, these spaces each one of us experiences as a symptom of simply being human. As human beings, we are composed of many facets that give us greater meaning and push us towards growth, though sometimes we can benefit from a respectful, trustworthy, judgment-free space tailored to your needs exactly where you are in your journey.
