As someone who was diagnosed as autistic later in life, I understand firsthand how validating and transformative it can be to finally have language for the way your brain works. This perspective helps me offer care that is genuinely neuro-affirming—rooted in curiosity, respect, and an appreciation for the many different ways minds can function.

As a queer person myself, I support youth and young adults across a wide range of identities and experiences—queer, transgender, nonbinary, polyamorous, questioning, and those in the process of coming out. I helped clients navigate relationship challenges, family tension, school and work stress, emotional trauma, and the unique pressures that come with gender dysphoria and the HRT journey.

During my fieldwork at a prep school, I help teens navigate identity questions, friendship and relationship challenges, family stress, academic pressure, and emotional trauma. I have worked with students who were exploring their gender & sexuality, helping them find language for their experiences and feel seen without judgment. I support adolescents through big feelings, shifting identities, and tough transitions, and create a space where they feel safe to express themselves and be understood.

Taking a queer theory lens, I ground my work in challenging social norms and constructs around sex, gender, sexuality, and relationships. This also extends to neurodivergence and embracing the interesting and nuanced ways our brains work. I have found that my neuro-affirming and queer affirming framework pairs well with narrative therapy, which means I help you unpack the stories you have been told about yourself and the world and create and tell your own authentic story!

I create space where clients feel safe exploring these layers at their own pace. Together, we uncover the beliefs and emotional habits that have been shaping their lives, and we work on gently unlearning the ones that keep them stuck. My goal is to help clients build more freedom, choice, and self-understanding so they can move through the world in ways that feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who they want to be.

I help clients understand themselves on a deeper level. I pay close attention to the patterns that show up in people’s relationships, reactions, and inner worlds, and I help them trace those patterns back to the experiences and environments where they first learned them. This insight isn’t about blaming the past—it’s about making sense of why certain behaviors once felt necessary or protective, and why they may not be serving someone anymore.
