About My Clients
I work with teens, adults and relationships living with ADHD and Autism. I have a great deal of experience working with LGBTQIA folks, with specific interest and experience in supporting the trans community.

My approach is collaborative and conversational, utilizing internal family systems as well as somatic awareness approaches.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a mental health worker, I take my self-care very seriously both in the spirit of maintaining my wellbeing, as well as in the spirit of modeling self care to my clients.

I have a background in the arts, and painting is a passion that allows me to reflect, release emotions, and find joy in the simplicity of color and texture. I deeply enjoy music and film, especially exploring broad societal themes such as isolation, depression, and social connectivity. I'm also a part of the LGBTQIA community and a polyamorous person myself-something I'm proud to share about myself in connection to the community as well as in my work. I love a good laugh, and the joy that comes from genuine connection.
