Licensed in CA & OR. I'm passionate about working with queer, neurodivergent folks who have experienced trauma. I also enjoy working with folks who identify as part of the “still COVIDing” community. I offer support around exploring gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and coming out. I also enjoy supporting folks in developing secure attachment and healing past attachment wounds. A lot of the folks I work with are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. They are seeking a better understanding of themselves and some relief. I support them in bettering their relationships with themselves and others.
I offer a holistic approach to therapy that includes traditional talk therapy and somatic experiencing, a therapeutic modality that supports the body in releasing trauma that is stored in the nervous system. The care that I provide is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative, anti-ableist, anti-racist, and celebrates neurodiversity.
It takes courage to reach out for support and finding a therapist that is a good fit can feel daunting. I offer a free 20 minute phone or zoom consultation to see if we are both interested in moving forward with working together. Please contact me via text or email to schedule a consult. Please view my website for COVID-19 and insurance details.
