In a chaotic world, your joy is a profound act of resistance. I provide an affirming support for 2S/Indigiqueer, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent individuals and families—including those navigating late-recognized neurodivergence. If you are carrying the heavy intersections of trauma, attachment wounds, and systemic violence, we will work together to turn survival into authentic living. Through deeply collaborative, trauma-informed care, I help you safely unpack the noise, heal core wounds, and reclaim your life on your own terms.
Standard "regulation" often demands compliance. But who decides what a "normal" nervous system looks like across culture, gender, and neurotype? I prioritize nervous system noticing. Integrating Somatics, Parts work, and attachment, we unpack how your body and history communicate, moving you away from masking and toward embodied liberation.
Navigating systemic, family, historical, and personal experiences of violence, trauma, and burnout is exhausting. You deserve a soft place to land and a firm commitment to your liberation. I offer online and phone-based therapy (Tue-Fri). To see if my approach is the right fit for you, I invite you to book a free 20-minute intro call.
