You are here! Right now! Even if you feel stuck, deeply hurt, or disconnected. Rooted in Buddhist principles, I support LGBTQ+, chronically ill, and neurodivergent adults find clarity and acceptance so they can move through life with confidence and dignity. Here's a quote from an activist and author I admire- "Morale itself is a terrain of struggle. Our morale is under attack, because our lives are under attack. But they haven’t defeated us, and they won’t. So play with your dog, and talk to your friends, and make plans. And whatever you do, don’t let fear defeat you." - Margaret Killjoy
My eclectic background is invaluable to how I approach my therapeutic process. As a dancer, I've learned to connect with my body, attune with others, and express my inner world. With a bachelor's degree focused on Tibetan Buddhism, I embody compassion and mindfulness. In my career as a performer and puppeteer, I've fostered play, freedom, and persistence.
Things are scary and unknown and weird right now. I don’t have all the answers, but I am committed to showing up and fighting for marginalized identities. 'Queer' is a verb, and I will continue to provide gender-affirming care and support LGBTQIA+ identities. Oh hey, I don't use AI in any area of my practice.
