I work with high-achieving professionals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people who are self-aware but still can't shift their anxiety.
As of 7/22/26, scheduling new clients in CA&NC. You're functioning well by every external measure. You're capable, responsible, probably the person others lean on. Your nervous system hasn't genuinely rested in years. You understand your anxiety. You might have even done therapy before. But insight hasn't made the feeling stop. Anxiety isn't only a thought pattern. It runs through threat responses moving faster than conscious thought, which is why understanding it hasn't changed it. This is exactly what I work with. It's why people who've tried everything else tend to find their way here.

I also work with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating the emotional complexities of queer life.
If you are reading this, something has brought you to a point of wanting more than you currently have. Maybe you're exhausted in a way that's hard to explain, running on autopilot, or quietly wondering "is this it"? I work with thoughtful, reflective individuals who want to deepen self-understanding and develop meaningful, lasting change. People who might seem successful from the outside, but feel empty or stuck on the inside. Often they have spent so long meeting expectations that they've stopped asking what they actually want.

Certified in LGBTQIA+ populations, I work with all varieties of sexuality and coupling from monogamy to non-monogamy.
How does your need for certainty play out? Does it force you to try to predict? Does it persuade you to declare things that you don't actually know? Perhaps the need for certainty is powerful enough to rob you of genuine moments with loved ones or with yourself. Research finds that people who take risks (those who step into the unknown) are happier than those who merely reach for reward or gratification. Why? Because healthy risk-taking has rewards sewn into the experience when we authentically try. It builds skills in self-advocacy, self-love and self-worth.

As a queer auDHD woman, I'm passionate about providing care that is affirming and tailored to your needs and neurotype.
Have you always felt different from everyone else, or even proudly identified as a "weirdo?" Are you burnt out and exhausted? Have therapy and medications been ineffective for you in the past? Is the search for a therapist or assessor that truly -gets- you more overwhelming than you could have ever imagined? You're in the right place. My clients are often on journeys to learn more about themselves, on a quest to feel better and enhance their quality of life. Nothing makes me happier than being immersed in a client's world. I want to know everything about what you love and care about.

Have you come to an obstacle you can't see your way through on your own? Are you noticing challenges in relationships with others or with yourself? Do you have a sense there is something deeper and more to life. Do you long for happiness and fulfillment? In your life so far, you may have had to do a lot of things on your own. But there are some things we can't do alone. A big step in healing is becoming ready to let in support. You may be in a dark night of the soul, which requires a form of therapy that goes deeper.

I work with people confronting crises or change, trans and queer people, neurodivergent people, and survivors.
These times call for critical and caring approaches to change. Together we will unlayer the impact of societal crises, demands, and normativity, in order to rediscover what is truly yours. Our speaking does not take place in a vacuum, but serves as a springboard for the creation of new connections in the world.

I specialize in working with teens, couples, families, and individuals who are LGBTQ+, neurodivergent (I prefer the term neurodiverse), and/or have experienced complex relational trauma.
I deeply value creativity and play as tools for healing. I love writing, art, music, television, video games, and board games, and I often integrate narrative work into sessions. You are the main character in your life, and therapy with me serves as a space to better understand your story and realize new possibilities for how it continues.

As a 2-SQT/ LGBTQ+ Affirming, Anti-Racist, Trauma-Informed, Intersectional, and Liberation-Based therapist, I acknowledge that systemic harm, like white supremacy, generational trauma, and the violence and abuse that is perpetuated by trauma and oppression can have deep, lasting scars that that impact our relationships with ourselves and others.
I help individuals alchemize their pain and RECLAIM their divine and ancestral magic. I believe individual healing and liberation has the ability to heal our lineage and communities by disrupting cycles of intergenerational trauma. Therapy is a sacred exchange of energy that can help you learn more deeply about you heart, mind, body and spirit.
