I work from a relational and psychodynamic framework, integrating object relations theory, attachment science, and IFS to help clients understand the core emotional templates they’ve internalized through early caregiving. Many people I work with experience anxious, avoidant, or disorganized patterns in relationships, often rooted in early relational ruptures, cultural expectations, or chronic invalidation. Together, we will build space for new, reparative experiences of connection.

As someone with lived experience in polyamory, I’ve explored multiple relationship modalities firsthand. I help clients move beyond shame or guilt and instead attune to the underlying needs that drive their choices. My work integrates attachment, cultural context, and queer/neurodivergent perspectives — honoring your desire for connection beyond labels or binaries. You’re human first; we’ll start from there.

My work with ADHD is grounded in both clinical training and deep empathy for nonlinear minds. I support clients in understanding not just the executive functioning challenges (time blindness, emotional dysregulation) but also the shame and self-doubt that often accompany a lifetime of feeling “too much” or “not enough.” Together, we explore inner parts shaped by masking, perfectionism, or rejection sensitivity, while also honoring your creativity, hyper-focus, and divergent ways of knowing.

Your history shapes you, but you're more than that. Rooted in psychodynamic theory, I help clients explore how past relationships affect current emotions, defenses, and patterns. I pay attention to transference, unconscious conflict, and attachment wounds, especially for clients navigating identity confusion, cultural pressure, and complex relational histories. My style is warm, insight-oriented, and deeply relational.

I integrate IFS to support clients in understanding their internal system of parts with compassion and curiosity. This approach is especially useful for trauma survivors, neurodivergent folks, and those with complex self-critical patterns. I help clients build trust with exiled or protective parts to foster integration, healing, and a stronger internal sense of Self.

My sessions are very depth-oriented. With an existential lens, I guide clients through questions of meaning, freedom, identity, and loss. This approach resonates with those feeling stuck, disoriented, or “in between.” I help clients confront uncertainty and reclaim agency while honoring their values, contradictions, and cultural or queer positionalities. We build a more authentic and embodied way of being.
