You might be here because something in you hurts. That may be an emotional, physical, or relational pain. You may be grieving a loss, navigating the stress of a chronic illness, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling the impact of a past trauma. You might also be carrying the pain of being misunderstood or excluded. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I understand what it feels like to be overlooked or judged for experiences others find hard to face, and this fuels my passion for working with individuals who have been marginalized, misunderstood, dismissed, unseen, or told their pain is too much.

As a clinician, I believe that therapy should be a mutual process in which the client and therapist work together to address the concerns and needs of each unique individual client. I believe each person has a unique capacity for growth and drive for self-actualization. When done with empathy and acceptance for an individual, therapy can be a process by which the client achieves their perception of change, growth, and healing.
