Are you a self-described "weirdo or nerd" who feels like you're not fitting into your own life? As a therapist who specializes in working with queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kinky, and pagan folks, I get it. My clients often say they are exhausted by constant worry that a loved one is about to leave them, having difficulty sleeping, using too much of a substance to feel briefly better (and then feeling worse after), or constantly feeling on edge. If you're wrestling with who you are while managing overwhelming emotions and exhausting anxiety, you're not alone.

I create a safe space where your identity isn't just accepted—it's celebrated. Whether you're navigating childhood trauma, processing grief, or exploring your identity, we'll work together to help you feel grounded and stable.

Many of my clients start seeing positive changes within months, finding better ways to manage emotions, build healthier relationships, and enjoy life again. Ready to work with someone who really gets your world? Contact me for a free consultation. Let's explore how you can move from just surviving to truly thriving in a life that feels authentically yours.
