Everyone comes to The Work in their own way, for their own reasons, in their own time. For some, it's a safe space to explore and grow as they need. For others it's a dedicated ear and a mind trained to help them resolve emotional conflicts, stress, anxiety, and depression. Still others long to be seen and embraced (in all of their complexity and nuance). Whatever journey has led you here, my goal is to help you step into the fullness of your Self and live the best life possible.
My therapeutic style is integrative, person-centered, and anti-oppressive, with a focus on empowerment / embodied change. Areas of specialty include: ADHD, executive functioning & Neurodiverse experiences; CPTSD & post-traumatic growth; Navigating dysfunctional family dynamics; Chronic illness & Disability; and LGBTQIA and TGNBNC experiences.
I enjoy working with all individuals ages 16+ across the spectrum of human experience. All services are: LGBTQIA, Kink, Poly/CNM, and SW affirmative.

Groups
Unmask: Executive Functioning Skills+ Group
Unmask is a 15 week virtual co-learning and peer solidarity group based on anti-oppressive values and neurodiversity informed praxis. Each of the group's twice-weekly sessions focuses on cultivating strengths based strategies to improve functional self-management and developing greater insight into our own innate functional needs and abilities as ADHD individuals - while receiving regular weekly accountability support and space for emotional processing of challenges. While this group is geared toward individuals with ADHD, no one will be turned away for lack of a formal diagnosis. This group is QTBIPOC lead.
