Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are; it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating space for the life you want to live. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally exhausted, making sense of a previous or existing diagnosis, experiencing new or unfamiliar symptoms, navigating a season of change, or sensing that something in your life no longer feels right. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and gain clarity about yourself and the patterns shaping your life. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change with greater confidence, intention, and self-understanding.

You've learned how to move between worlds — different languages, expectations, versions of yourself depending on who's in the room. And maybe that's worked, for a while. But at some point, the weight of it catches up. You feel anxious, disconnected, or like you're living a life that fits everyone else but doesn't quite fit you.
That tension — between where you come from and where you're going, between who your family needs you to be and who you actually are — is real, and it deserves real attention.

Therapy can be a radically liberating process, and I believe our personal and inner healing work is part of the larger social justice movements we participate in for our mutual liberation. As a queer person myself, I tend to work with other LGBTQ+ people exploring and expanding their sexualities and gender identities. As someone involved in radical politics, I offer validation and therapeutic solidarity to abolitionists and activists across the spectrum of liberation movements. And as a person with mental illness, I offer a dignified and person-centered approach to caring for our most sensitive personal issues and life challenges.
