Hi! I specialize in neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ individuals, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use a relational, gentle-yet direct approach, infused with Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) and Compassionate Inquiry. If you are neuro-spicy (this includes highly sensitive individuals/empaths, autistic folks, and ADHD) then you are my people! :) I am really good at being a safe space to show up imperfectly, and embrace your humanness. I also love spirituality, intentional plant medicine work, and making friends with the darkness that exists within all of us.
I got my M.A. and Ed.M. degrees in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University. I've gained clinical experience with Internal Family Systems therapy, Trauma Informed Treatment, and served as a peer counselor for suicide prevention for over a year. I have now been practicing for over 3 years, and I am deeply grateful for how I get to be in service.
I am a deep listener and I believe that vulnerability is a superpower. I see the beauty in facing discomfort/emotionally challenging situations. I can often feel the feelings my clients sometimes struggle to verbalize; I help it make sense to them & help them release shame about it. Please reach out if working together is feeling aligned :)

Groups
Beyond the Mask - Beginning Feb 17th, 2026 -online
This therapeutic support group is for Neurodivergent and queer folks between ages ~22 and ~33 who struggle with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). This is the clinical term for when the nervous system says NO (you experience so much visceral resistance in the body) about anything that feels like a "should" or a moral failure if you do not do it. I know the feeling, you are so not alone. This group is an invitation to share experiences, build community, process emotions in a safe space, practice de-shaming, and start recalibrating to a new story that works better for us.
