Hello, welcome! Take off your shoes and kick up your feet. You may have been looking through many PT profiles trying to find the right therapist. I totally get that! My goal as a therapist is to create safe spaces for those who have been struggling trying to find one. As a queer and AuDHD individual I know what it feels like to navigate in a world that is not suited to our needs. As a social justice advocate, you can often find me at the capital defending my client's rights. In my free time, I help local artists get their foot through the door and their stories onto stage.
While I primarily work with my fellow queer and "neurospicy" folks, I welcome anyone who wants to work on their anxieties, complex traumas, religious traumas, depression, relationship issues, gender related concerns, and racial/social aggressions. My main modality I like to use is Feminist & IFS Theories, but I also do work in CBT/DBT & somatic therapy
I invite anyone who are trying to find their voice, discover their place in the world, or feel unwelcomed with those who you are surrounded by. Navigating through our world is hard enough, therapy should not be the challenge but a beacon of hope. Let's take this journey together and find the narrative to your story!

I work with adults who are "neurospicy," so our ASD, ADHD, AuDHD (which I personally have), as well as OCD folks. I really love working with late(er)-diagnosed folks who want to explore this new aspect of their identity and learn how their brain works for them. I can also help those trying to navigate in a world that is not built to suit our needs.

I often turn to IFS when it comes to my trauma informed worked. Trying to heal wounds at the source rather than just coping with the symptoms. I hold Feminist & Multicultural values and techniques to the highest regards to give clients back power that the system(s) may be robbing them.
