Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, like masking, over-apologizing, shutting down in conflict, people-pleasing, or mistrusting closeness? Perhaps you’ve spent years suppressing your feelings - avoiding your anger, sadness, or pain. You want to feel more like yourself in your relationships, less guarded, more alive. You want to stop bracing for impact and start trusting your own pace. I work with folks who have learned to keep themselves small or fragmented to survive. Deep down, they long for authentic connection, emotional safety, and space to grow into the full complexity of who they are.
As a queer therapist and trauma survivor, I bring a deeply relational and somatic approach to healing. My work is rooted in AEDP, attachment theory, and nervous system awareness. I support clients in exploring identity, dismantling shame, and recovering what’s been hidden or softened to survive. Therapy with me is experiential, collaborative, and grounded.
I’m a Southerner turned Brooklynite, a person in long-term recovery, and a chronic blusher. I show up to this work with warmth, humility, and a bit of humor too. Now that you've gotten a sense of me, I'm excited to get a sense of you! If you're ready for therapy that feels honest and connected, I’d be honored to support you.
