The world often doesn’t feel made for those who have unique brains and ways of processing stimuli and intense emotions. Masking sometimes feels like the only way to navigate the world safely. If you are in need of a safe space to navigate through challenging experiences, parts of your identity or relationship challenges, then this space is absolutely for you. I can help with tuning out the outside noise, and creating a safe container where you can feel your emotions, rewire old patterns and protective parts, and get unstuck so you can honor who you are. I'm not here to nod along and validate - I'm actively engaged in the process.
I am a queer, trauma-informed therapist and work from an attachment lens. Whether it's processing trauma through EMDR or supporting couples in having more vulnerable conversations around their needs, I'm here for it. I also specialize in polyamory/ENM relationship dynamics, and I love working with BIPOC, neurodiverse folks and multicultural couples.
You care deeply for your relationships, but it doesn't have to feel so hard to navigate. Together, we'll create a plan to address your concerns and help guide you towards healing and showing up for yourself and others in an authentic way. I offer a free consultation to see whether we'd be a good fit, so please reach out to find out about working together!

I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy and frequently use an attachment-focused lens, as well as Internal Family Systems. During our sessions, I will gently guide you into noticing what happens in your body, and moving through these emotions. I am also trained in EMDR, which can help clients process and heal from their trauma without relying on traditional talk therapy.
