Hi - thank you for considering working with me! 

Let’s be honest – it’s hard out here. Existing in a society marked by so much injustice and pain is heavy, and many of us struggle with anxiety and feeling disconnected from our sense of self and self-worth. Unfortunately, most of us experience trauma, which can leave us feeling isolated, misunderstood, or ashamed. If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone and you deserve caring, compassionate support on your healing journey. I know the therapy process can feel overwhelming, and want to assure you that we will go at the pace that feels right to you. 

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced complex and relational trauma, queer and gender-expansive people, and those who struggle with anxiety, boundaries, and people-pleasing. I am particularly experienced in working with people around issues of relationship abuse. Whether you have experienced harm by a partner, a family member, a friend, or another close person – and whether that harm happened long ago or more recently – I am here to listen, witness your story, and work with you to rebuild your sense of self-worth, self-trust, and safety. I bring an understanding of the dynamics of abuse and expertise in resources for people ending and healing after harmful relationships. 

As for what our sessions will look like: I will welcome you and your full self into the therapy room, creating a validating, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed “judgment-free zone” for us to work in. I understand that, for many neurodivergent people, our ways of thinking and feeling don’t always align with society’s expectations. That’s why I approach therapy through a lens of flexibility, creativity, and inclusivity. That includes your interests, too, meaning that our sessions can incorporate music, art, games, role-play, or whatever works best for you! 

My approach is also based on the principles of abolition, recognizing that the systems that shape our society also shape our mental health and that being in community is an essential part of healing. I love working with people on ways that they can bring their healing journey into the community outside the therapy room.
