Looking for a neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist? I specialize in therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and life transitions. I offer dedicated support for adult ADHD, autism, and chronic illness, frequently working with late-diagnosed individuals, burnt-out former gifted kids, eldest daughters, and queer folks navigating gender transition. Healing begins with self-compassion. As an integrative, trauma-informed counselor, my approach is rooted in an anti-oppressive, systemic, and feminist framework.
I provide a calm, empathetic, and collaborative therapy environment, using humor when appropriate. I help untangle how systemic barriers impact your mental health; because you are not the problem. You are the expert on your life, and together, we will build a transparent, person-centered treatment plan.
I warmly welcome diverse relationship models and identities. My lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and disabled therapist deeply informs my practice, helping us build a trusted, long-term therapeutic support system.
