Do you want to understand yourself or your child better, explore your identities in a supportive space, or get help to feel less flooded and weary while navigating an oppressive world? I specialize in serving queer and trans communities, as well as autistic, twice-exceptional, or otherwise neurodivergent folks. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, struggle with mood, strongly intellectualize or have trouble clarifying their emotions, or grapple with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or dissociation. My practice focuses on serving children, teens, parents, and young adult clients.
My style is relational and centers your (or your child's) needs. For families who want to reduce power struggles and repair relationships, I can offer practices to navigate conflicts with curiosity and collaboration. I am queer, trans, and neurodiversity affirming, and committed to anti-oppressive practice and transformative justice.
Many concerns, identities, and issues inform one another and intersect. I am here for you in your full complexity. If you are looking for someone to listen thoughtfully, encourage deeper processing, engage playfully, and be together with the tangled and conflicting aspects of your experience– or those of your child– consider reaching out.

I draw from many perspectives, but most use a psychodynamic and relationally psychoanalytic lens. I have significant experience using Collaborative Problem Solving and transformative justice practices in work with parents and families.
