About My Clients
I work with people of all ages, with a special place in my heart for neurodivergent and queer kids, teens, and young adults. Maybe you’ve spent years masking, shrinking to fit, or feeling like the odd one out. Folks come to me with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family stress, identity questions, big life changes, and complicated relationships with food and their bodies. If you’re craving a space where you can show up fully, weird and wonderful and all, you belong here.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Registered Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon with a Master’s in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Portland State University. Rehab counseling is rooted in disability justice, so I focus on what works for your brain and body instead of forcing you to fit a mold. At Kartini Clinic, I’ve worked with young people facing eating disorders, so I know how tangled food, bodies, and feelings can get. I’ve also facilitated grief groups at the Dougy Center and counseled community clients at PSU, so I’m comfortable sitting with loss and heavy feelings in all their forms. Before therapy, I spent years in theater, events, and performance, which is why our sessions might include art, play, or role-play when words aren’t enough. As a queer, disabled counselor, I know what it’s like to feel different, so come as you are! No masking, no shrinking, no performing required.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and a disabled person, and both shape how I show up as a counselor. I believe in disability justice, which means honoring that every body and brain has its own wisdom, and that access needs aren’t extra, they’re essential. I’m committed to antiracist, trauma-informed care, and I’m always learning, unlearning, and checking my own blind spots. I also believe mental health care shouldn’t be a luxury, so I work to keep therapy as accessible as I can. Outside the therapy room, I’m a former drag performer and lifelong theater kid who still believes in the healing power of a good costume change. I’m also a proud cat parent to Bubba and Damian, who may make a cameo on screen. My hope is that you’ll feel the same freedom here that I’ve found in my own communities: to be fully, loudly yourself.
