About My Clients

When we first meet we will start with what feels most relevant: what brought you here, what has and hasn't worked before, and what you're hoping for. I ask questions, but there's no pressure to have it all figured out as we continue to work together. Most people leave feeling heard and a little less alone with whatever they came in carrying.

My Background and Approach

Providing trauma informed, affirming therapy is especially important to me as someone who is late diagnosed AuDHD w/ complex PTSD and chronic pain. I hope to create a place where those I work with can feel more comfortable to connect to their authentic selves by approaching each session with patience, compassion, and occasionally, humor. I aim for my sessions to be a neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, and nonmonogamy affirming space. I am trained in Brainspotting, and I work from several therapy modalities depending on individual preferences/needs, including: ACT, Parts Work, DBT, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness. If that sounds like what you need right now, I'd love to work with you. Please note I will do a free 15 minute consultation with you but have it turned off as a requirement to book with me.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Human first. I believe part of the foundation of healing includes encouraging self compassion and understanding of our humanness. However, several of life and society/systemic factors can affect our foundations and journeys. I work from an anti-capitalist and affirming framework.
