In therapy sessions with me, you will find a collaborative, nonjudgmental space for you to be yourself. As a queer and neurodivergent person, I know how difficult it can be to navigate the oppressive systems. I have experience in the food justice space, community mental health, and advocating for disabled and chronically ill individuals. I have a deep understanding of the systemic and harmful barriers that make it difficult to access basic needs and healthcare. I am a strong advocate for social justice and equity, and I am happy to offer self-pay and pro bono options for clients.
I am a therapist intern at Elements Counseling and Wellness Center. I provide a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach. I have experience with religious and family trauma, career navigation, relationships, gender and sexual identity exploration, and life transitions. I am 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodivergent affirming.
I would love to walk alongside you on your journey to achieving your goals and finding your authentic self. I know how hard it can be to make that first step and reach out to a new therapist. I am here if there are any questions or concerns you might want to discuss.
