Currently accepting new clients for online therapy! At the start of this new year, many people are looking for "what's next" for their self-improvement journey. Maybe you want to recover from trauma, live your life more authentically, or challenge our fat-phobic society's norms. To support these goals and more, I’m here to help you connect with yourself, discover your strengths, and navigate your daily life with less anxiety and more meaningful connections. I am LGBTQ+ celebratory, trans-affirming, kink-positive, and poly-informed. You can present yourself authentically in this therapeutic relationship.
I am a casual, personable therapist who can meet with you virtually from the comfort of your own home. I will respect all of your life experiences, and I’m here for you whether you need to cry or laugh your way through it. I specialize in and have many years of experience in treating trauma.
My clients tend to be LGBTQ+ folx, individuals on the fat spectrum, and people who use humor to cope. Navigating life as a queer, fat woman has given me some unique insights into dismantling societal pressures that hold us back from feeling whole. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation, and I look forward to joining you on your journey!

I work with individuals facing anxiety, trauma, and challenges in coping in this fast-paced society. During our sessions, we will explore the parts of ourselves that we sometimes feel hesitant to share with others. Together, we will work to help you feel confident in healing from trauma and reconnecting with who you truly are.
