Your life doesn't have to fit into a box. Our ideal clients are LGBTQ+ individuals, polyamorous folks, and high-achieving cycle-breakers tired of forcing themselves into traditional molds. You might feel exhausted by systemic burnout, intergenerational trauma, or relationship hurts. I will help you move forward using a trauma-informed, decolonizing lens. Together, we can move beyond rigid talk therapy, combining Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and IFS to regulate your nervous system, transform survival habits, and reclaim your authentic joy.
I specialize in queer-affirming, kink-positive care, racial identity, and ENM/polyamory, offering integrative somatic tools to heal mind and body from old hurts. I accept UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Optum, Oscar, UMR, and Private Pay across all licensed states. For Georgia residents, I also accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana.
Living outside traditional rules can feel lonely and exhausting, but your identity, desires, and relationships are beautiful and valid. You’ve been the strong one for long enough; you deserve a safe space to lay down your armor. If you are ready to let go of judgment and step into authentic joy, I am here. Let’s take this next step together.
