I believe therapy should be a collaborative effort between client and therapist. While I may share some evidenced-based ideas during our sessions, only you are the expert on what works for you. My sessions will generally follow a cognitive behavioral approach, meaning that we will examine, and possibly shift, your thoughts and perspectives on life situations that are causing you enough distress to want to pursue change. Together we will form a plan of action that is the right fit for you at this point in time.

As a queer, chronically ill, and neurodivergent therapist, I understand firsthand how healthcare and societal systems require dismantling.

My work is rooted in IFS and ACT, integrating a holistic perspective that honors the connection between mind and body. I also offer neurodivergent-affirming ADHD and Autism testing, and presurgical evaluations.

I specialize in working with trans and nonbinary individuals navigating the layered impacts of complex trauma—particularly trauma rooted in relationships, identity invalidation, and systemic oppression. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the weight of early attachment wounds, chronic misattunement, boundary violations, and experiences of erasure or violence, both within their personal lives and the world at large. Trauma doesn’t just live in the past—it lives in the nervous system, in relationships, in the way we move through the world.
