My website

I do not have any immediate openings, but you can still request to work with me and be on a waitlist or reach out for additional referrals. I enjoy working with queer and neurodiverse folks and consider myself a light touch, focusing on offering a non-judgmental space. I offer free 15 minute consultations to determine fit. Good fit is a priority for me for my clients and myself.

I love working with queer and neudodivergent folks to de-pathologize our identities and offer validation to the struggles that come from living in an abelist society where many of us are targeted. I cannot fix things for you, but I can support building self compassion and kindness.

Feel free to reach out if you are looking for a place without judgment or shame. If I'm not a good fit, I'm happy to work on referrals to those to may be. I'm awkward, I'm weird, and I care a lot.
