About My Clients

I specialize in working with clients who are exploring identity, gender, sexuality, and relationships, with a focus on queer, trans/nonbinary, ADHD, Autistic, and non-monogamous folks.

My Background and Approach

I am a queer and neurodivergent therapist who is passionate about supporting clients as they uncover and connect with their most authentic, grounded selves. Through a balance of warmth, compassion, and supportive challenge, I encourage clients to offer more tender care to the parts of themselves that may be suffering. I aim to create an empowering, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space that invites reflection, creativity, and curiosity. My therapeutic practice is anchored in relational, attachment-based, and feminist therapies, and incorporates somatic techniques for working with trauma, such as EMDR therapy and nervous system regulation.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My approach is rooted in the neurodiversity framework of mental health and a commitment to anti-oppressive practice. My practice is LGBTQIA+-celebratory, sex-positive, non-monogamy-affirming, kink-aware, and sex worker-affirming. I believe that, at its best, therapy has the potential to move us towards deeper community connection and collective liberation.
