About My Clients

Many people I work with are drawn to this process because it makes space for what doesn’t fit neatly into words or expectations. Often neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, creative, spiritually curious, or in roles of holding space for others, they feel deeply, think expansively, and carry questions of identity, grief, or meaning. Many have learned to navigate life by masking, accommodating, or holding too much alone. We make space for what’s layered, unclear, or tender—without needing to explain or fix.

My Background and Approach

My practice is shaped by existential, depth, and relational approaches to psychotherapy, alongside my lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent, white-bodied person and my background in creative and contemplative practices. These threads inform how I sit with complexity, paradox, and the many layers of what it means to be human. Therapy with me is not about predefined paths or destinations—it is an ongoing, unfolding process of presence, inquiry, and becoming. We navigate complexity together, not by solving, but by being-with: a collaborative, relational space that makes room for whatever arises. There is no rush for answers. What emerges between us is guided not by outcomes, but by reverence, curiosity, and deep respect for what’s still coming into view.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is both relational and political. We are shaped by systems, stories, and histories that live in the room with us. I care deeply about anti-oppression, accessibility, mutual support, and the ongoing work of unlearning what harms. I move through the world as a queer, neurodivergent (AuDHD), non-binary (they/he), white-bodied person. These experiences shape how I offer care—especially with those navigating the in-between spaces of identity, culture, or belonging. My path has been shaped by creativity, grief, study, and a lifelong search for meaning that has never fit neatly into categories. I’m especially drawn to working with people exploring identity, creative process, grief, and existential questions. I’m a musician, artist, gardener, and someone drawn to beauty in unlikely places, quiet moments, and the unruly edges of things. I try to stay curious about what can’t yet be named, and hold space for questions that unfold slowly.
