About My Clients

People often seek me out for a different kind of therapy — one that trusts the body as much as the mind, and isn't interested in management as an endpoint. They're often high-functioning and exhausted, navigating complex trauma, late-identified ADHD or autism, or the weight of an inner life the world never quite reflected back. They've usually already tried to figure themselves out. They come because they're ready for something with more depth.

My Background and Approach

My clinical roots are in trauma and attachment — early work with youth in active crisis, then recovery and complex mental illness. That's where I learned that teaching coping skills doesn't do much when someone doesn't yet feel safe enough to use them. Today my work centers on two things: somatic trauma therapy, and neurodivergent assessment for adults. I'm trained in IFS, Brainspotting, and Coherence Therapy, and I hold certifications in ADHD coaching and Autism/ADHD/Trauma differentiation assessment. I'm queer, neurodivergent, and politically left. I don't treat oppression as neutral, and I won't flinch at conversations about gender, sexuality, kink, or non-traditional relationships. I care less about you being normal and more about you having a life that feels coherent, self-determined, and livable.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My philosophy, and the reason I became a therapist, is this: when you clearly and confidently identify with your truth, good things follow. I can't tell you what your truth is. What I can do is bring your nervous system to a place where it's both active and calm — grounded enough to ask bold and radical questions, open enough to hear what comes back. A lot of what I do is help people learn to receive the messages their own experience has been sending. I also believe healing doesn't stay contained to the person doing it. People who are genuinely healing change the rooms they're in. That's not a small thing.
