About My Clients

My practice is open to all who resonate with my style, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent folks. For many LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent people, daily life can feel like trying to navigate spaces where your full self isn’t always seen, understood, or welcomed. Together, we’ll co-create a space where you feel seen, heard and welcome to step into the fullest version of yourself.

My Background and Approach

My work is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from complementary theories to honor the whole of who you are. We may use attachment-focused exploration to understand how past relationships shape your patterns, somatic practices to connect more deeply with your body’s wisdom, or existential reflection to explore meaning and direction. Multicultural and feminist perspectives are also always present in how I view human suffering and healing. I’m also passionate about animal assisted therapy and the healing power of the human-animal connection.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we all have opportunities to make decisions that can lead us toward living our best life, and that we all face different obstacles. As a queer woman, I feel that my therapeutic work is enriched by my multicultural and feminist perspectives, and I am especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
