People with ADHD are bright, empathetic, and creative. We often struggle with harnessing our uniquely wired brains to fit into a world built for neurotypicals. We know we are capable of so much more, but we're functioning well under that capacity. Examples of the issues we experience include time management, organization, remembering things and motivating ourselves to do things. Other forms of mental illness may accompany our ADHD. However, with some support, we can improve our systems for functioning in ways that are actually fun. We can also improve our intimate relationships, which makes life better all-round.

As a social worker specializing in sex therapy, I help clients explore sex and intimacy with openness, curiosity, and compassion. We work together to uncover and understand the factors that shape sexual experiences, including early messaging about sex, cultural narratives, and individual desires. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can express their needs, confront barriers to intimacy and deepen emotional and physical connection. Whether through communication skills, self-exploration, or somatic techniques, I work with clients to determine how they can best experience fulfilling and authentic sexual lives.

In my therapeutic practice, I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support to clients navigating trauma and life’s challenges. Specializing in Expressive Art Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I blend talk, creative expression, and body awareness to help you process difficult emotions. Trauma isn’t always easy to express through words alone, so I use creativity and alternative forms of self-expression to offer a safe and freeing space for exploring complex feelings.

Do you have responses that seem out of alignment with a triggering event, or emotions coming from unknown places, lingering uncomfortably long? Are you or your loved one navigating addiction, recovery, or a mental health condition? Are you curious about developments in the field of psychedelic medicine, or have questions about harm-reduction and integrative meaning making? Perhaps you are having internal conflicts with your self, your identity, allyship and settler status, or life/work direction? Or maybe you just need a confidential, nonjudgmental, supportive space to express yourself?

Life can feel complicated when you've struggled with your weight for as long as you can remember. There’s a deep emotional weight that comes with navigating body image, societal and cultural expectations, and food as a coping strategy. Maybe you're trying to adjust to life on GLP-1 medications and grappling with unexpected changes, or you're post-bariatric surgery and feeling unsure about your next steps. You might also be dealing with the challenges of emotional or binge eating. I've been there, and I get it in a way many others don't. My personal journey gives me a unique understanding of the complexities you may be facing.

I am a certified IFS therapist and have been educated via the IFS Institute. I use Internal Family Systems therapy combined with Polyvagal theory and somatic work. Creating a strong and non-dogmatic container together is the cornerstone of my practice. I am especially skilled at attuning, and providing company in places that you may have previously felt alone. We will work towards helping parts of you that may be stuck in fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or collapse. Many of my clients are people in their 20s and 30s exploring the transitions and challenges of adulthood while reckoning with Family of Origin trauma.

The business of therapy is a personal matter. I help clients face themselves and feel supported through a self-discovery process that is built upon a relationship of trust and beneficence. The advantage of supporting clients this way is that they overcome their life challenges independently based on their own efforts and from a solid foundation. In a world of quick fixes and easy (ready-made) answers, an honest approach to the therapeutic process can be both liberating and life-transforming and allows one to embrace a greater appreciation for the complexity and uncertainty we are immersed in.
