Relational and flexible therapy for people whose bodies and brains have been misunderstood, dismissed, or disbelieved. When you go to bed at night, you wonder how you are going to feel the next morning. Will you wake up and immediately start bargaining with your body? Will you intend to start your morning routine and somehow end up doing everything except that? You wake up and still try. You push through, put on your mask, and hold it together…even when your brain won't load or you've already spent everything you had just getting out of bed. The shame creeps in before the day has even started. Why is this so hard?
I specialize in chronic illness and pain; medical and relational trauma; ADHD, autism, and OCD; relationship therapy for couples who have different neurotypes and/or chronic illness is present. As a queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill therapist, I pull from both my lived experience and clinical training.
Sessions with me may look like this: processing grief, understanding and identifying your mind/body's unique needs, raging against capitalism and the patriarchy, celebrating wins, (re)discovering who you are when you put your needs first, and/or processing attachment, childhood, or relational trauma. You deserve a space to feel all of your emotions.
