My practice is client-led, social justice-oriented, and deeply affirming. I work primarily with 2SLGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and chronically ill individuals, as well as those with CPTSD and systemic trauma, recognizing that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in relationship, in safety, and in a space that honors all of who you are. Therapy with me isn’t about forcing change or following rigid models; it’s about collaborating, experimenting, and finding what actually works for you in ways that are sustainable and empowering.

You deserve a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, mask your needs, or explain why the world feels overwhelming. As a queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, fat, secular therapist, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find care that truly gets it. Whether you’re navigating complex trauma, living in a body that the world wasn’t built for, processing medical trauma, living with chronic illness and pain, struggling to find community, navigating systemic oppression, or unlearning years of masking and self-doubt, I offer a therapeutic space where you are seen, you are heard, and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s mold.

I know what it’s like to feel unseen, dismissed, or like your struggles don’t quite fit the mold of what people expect. Maybe you’ve been told your pain is all in your head, that you’re too sensitive, or that you just need to try harder—but deep down, you know there’s more to the story. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, unlearning harmful narratives about your body, processing trauma, or exploring your identity, this is a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your experience. You are already enough, just as you are.

Above all, my goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel seen, and support you in creating a life that feels like yours—not one shaped by survival alone. Therapy should be a space where you can exist fully, without apology. I’m here to help you build that space.

I integrate Attachment-Based Therapy, Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and somatic approaches, tailoring each session to what you need in the moment. If you’ve ever struggled to put words to your experiences, art-based and body-focused practices can offer new ways to explore and express what feels unnameable. If past therapy has felt invalidating or too structured, we’ll create a space that centers your autonomy, your way of processing, and your unique strengths.

We’ll work together to reclaim your right to take up space, build a deeper connection with yourself, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling for you. You are not too much. You are not “wrong.” You are worthy of love, safety, and joy—exactly as you are.

My approach to therapy is centered on seeing you as a whole person and understanding the systems that shape your experiences. I believe in fostering a space where collaboration, consent, and personal autonomy guide our work together. While I often incorporate art therapy, attachment-based therapy, and holistic methods, every session is tailored to what feels most effective and comfortable for you.
