I believe that you are the expert on your own life and I am here to help guide you along your healing journey. Sessions with me are collaborative and consent-based, meaning that you have the ultimate control while I'm here as a supportive guide. I practice a relational therapy model and work best when we are both able to unmask (to the best of our abilities). I love supporting queer, trans, disabled and neurodivergent clients in unlearning shame, advocating for themselves, and reclaiming autonomy. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing what’s broken” because you are not broken.
I typically focus on narrative therapy, DBT skills, somatic techniques, CBT, and neurodivergent affirming care. I do my best to incorporate a sociopolitical mindset and approach to trauma, interpersonal relationships, and healing. I also encourage clients to build their toolkits and outside support networks as much as possible.
Whether you’re here to unmask, process complex feelings, rest, or gain coping skills, I meet you exactly where you are. You have the right to take up space, pause, and heal on your own terms. I greatly enjoy being a part of peoples' journeys towards self-actualization and appreciate the honor of being chosen to do this meaningful work together.

I have known Hunter for roughly a decade now, and their personality has stood the test of time: kind, compassionate, and a great listener. I believe Hunter would be a great resource for clients with neurodivergence and chronic pain difficulties.

I typically utilize non-adherent DBT with clients to develop/expand skills in distress tolerance, mindfulness, and more. I also tend to utilize CBT, somatic healing, and person-centered therapy. Neurodivergence expresses differently in everyone so I love working together to help clients build their individual toolkits with what works best for them.
