About My Clients

Therapy works best when you feel safe enough to show up as your full self. I work with people who want a space where they don't have to perform, mask, over-explain themselves, or fit into boxes that don't quite work - especially neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, or poly/ENM folks navigating relationships, identity, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. Therapy with me can include reflection, practical tools, and space to explore the deeper patterns shaping your life. I believe that as the client, you are the expert of your own life/experiences. My role is to offer curiosity, care, and a non-judgmental space where we can reflect and make meaning together. I draw from approaches like IFS parts work, narrative, attachment-focused, feminist, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, but my primary focus is building a therapeutic relationship where you feel understood and supported. Feel free to reach out for a consultation so we can see if working together feels like a good fit.
