I am a client-focused therapist that will meet you where you are at and walk with you, your children, your relationship or your family to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions and how surviving adversity can impact your well-being.
I use a strength-based, solution-focused and trauma informed lens when guiding my clients through the therapeutic process, while drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR and EFFT modalities to help you develop coping strategies in hopes to spark hope, reduce stressors, and challenge our negative thoughts that increase feelings of being overwhelmed and hopeless.

Internal Family Systems Therapy is my primary modality with emphasis on feminist psychology.
Emphasis is on your inner knowing and fundamental maternal instincts although I also provide some education in current research on the parental and infant brain and practical ways to support parent mental health while fostering secure attachment. Accessibility for this sacred work is crucial, I provide sliding scale rates where they are needed!

My areas of focus include treating childhood trauma, C-PTSD, relationships and family therapy.
You have made so many positive changes in your life, and overcome so much, but you still notice a heaviness inside that doesn't match how others see you. And that's extra painful because it seems like no one will be able to see you the way you need to be seen. In our sessions you can expect a down to earth, friendly atmosphere where you can talk openly, process your feelings and foster a deeper self-understanding to build resilience and find yourself.

In particular, I focus on working with survivors of autism, gender & sexuality conversion “therapies”, and others who have experienced mental, emotional, cognitive, and neurodevelopmental injuries within the context of institutional settings such as mental health & primary care, schooling, religion & culture / ideology, and the family unit.
I am an autistic trauma therapist working exclusively with autistic adults. Many of my clients - like myself - also happen to be queer, trans, and multiply neurodivergent. I do not "treat" autism/neurodivergence or gender divergence - I focus on treating autistic trauma and gender/sexual/relationship trauma. Instead of helping you to “fit in” to neurotypical culture, I support you to diverge: to take back space, find your other way, and find your way to others like you - and others who like you for you - by working together we can realize your struggles as your strengths.

I integrate Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to support healing and reconnection to Self.
Struggling is a natural part of being human. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from yourself, your relationships, or your life—it’s often a sign that something deeper needs attention. Parts of you may long for change, while others resist, holding on to old coping strategies like anxiety, self-criticism, or avoidance. These patterns once helped you navigate the world, but they may now be preventing you from feeling fully present, connected, and at peace in your life. Together, we can explore these parts and move toward healing.
