I specialize in supporting people dealing with depression, anxiety, relational distress, life transitions, gender and sexuality exploration, chronic illness, autism and/or ADHD. I often work with clients dealing with anxiety and burnout after a lifetime of utilizing stress, harsh inner critics, or shame to motivate themselves to "push through" executive functioning challenges. I believe healing happens when we develop self-compassion for our most shamed parts and build support systems that meet us with care and understanding. My style is integrative, mindful and rooted in social justice.
I show up calm and open minded, listen with empathy, and use humor when appropriate. I believe you are the expert on your own life and love to collaborate on treatment with you. I utilize a systemic, person centered approach that is trauma informed. I believe in high transparency in the therapy process and deciding together what approaches work best for you.
I am invested in working with people of diverse relationship models and social identities. My personal insights as a queer, neurodivergent, fat, chronically ill, disabled person working on my own mental health and internalized biases inform my work and how I relate to those I work with.
