Hello and welcome! I am happy to help anyone who is struggling to work through a difficult situation, feelings, and/or hurtful situation/upbringing. I help people find their own life/style solutions, performance, and satisfaction. I work best with creative communities because I have lived experience as a member of these populations. Basically, anyone who identifies as an outsider may appreciate my reality-based, forward, and honest approach to solution-discovery. I look forward to meeting you and working mutually to infuse your life with more balance, joy, passion, and love.
I use a psychodynamic, trauma-resilient, parts-based approach and am well-versed in codependency psychoeducation. Anyone who struggles with emotions, may be using substances or behaviors to cope, and wants to know why may find their answers here with me. I do everything in my power to help you understand your own journey.
I am nonbinary, female-presenting, LGBTQIA identifying, poly/LS/open relationship affirming, kink/fetish aware, and non-religious. I can help anyone explore their own identity and "become what you are," just like Alan Watts suggested. Reach out if you are ready to grow forward. There's no judgement here.

My primary treatment approach is psychodynamic with integrated narrative and existential techniques. I also employ a fair amount of psychoeducation on codependency, substance use, and neuroscience. I think it is important to work through the things in the shadows while also bringing strengths and solutions to light.
