An inclusive space for anyone who has faced discrimination, marginalization, or dehumanization. Clients of all backgrounds and walks of life are welcome in my office. I'm a survivor who knows it can be difficult to find a therapist who feels safe when you've been hurt before, and I practice with great care to ensure my Clients feels believed and respected. Therapy should be a space where you can safely explore all facets of yourself with trust that you won't be judged. No topic is off limits. This is a collaborative process, and I want you to feel safe being YOU.
I work w/: complex trauma, dissociation, neurodivergence, sex & relationships, chronic illness/disability, minority stress, issues related systemic oppression, anxiety, depression, & identity. My approach is flexible, transparent, and human. If it isn't working, tell me so we can find something that does.
Life is fucking hard and you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. I believe everyone – regardless of circumstance – deserves to have fulfilling relationships, and I believe that access to safe and affirming healthcare should be a right and not a privilege. Please reach out with any questions or visit my website for more information about support I can offer.
