Hello and welcome! If you're feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and like you have to shrink yourself to survive, you're not alone. I’m here to help you reclaim your voice, reconnect with your creativity, and live boldly–remembering you are never too sensitive, too weird, too much, or too anything! You are always enough, and you deserve to take up space. I come with humor, curiosity, and compassion to help you unmask, challenge societal norms, and define life on your own terms.
I primarily work with creative, queer, neurodivergent adults who are feeling crushed by societal pressures. My work is relational, existential, and identity-based, focusing on making meaningful connections with ourselves, others, and the world around us. I encourage the use of colorful language, dark humor, and out-of-the-box thinking.
TLDR: The work only works if we work. Our vibe is essential. Reach out. Let's chat. And never lose your whimsy!
