It makes sense that you might feel overwhelmed. As a therapist who centers body liberation, I’m committed to helping you navigate whatever is making your life difficult right now while taking an affirming and social justice approach to your care.

Do you struggle with feeling like you don't belong? Do you wish you could wake up and love every single thing about yourself? Maybe you've been through something that resulted in an installed belief of "I'm not good enough". I'm here to tell you that you are good enough. I spent a lot of my life feeling like I needed to hide or apologize for who I am. People and institutions told me that I didn't fit their mold so that meant that I just didn't matter. Screw that! We are beautiful and unique humans and are worthy of all the good things! I finally learned that I never have to apologize for being me! Neither do you!

It isn’t easy being you in a world designed for neurotypical expectations. You may feel like an outsider because your brain processes social cues, sensory input, or intimacy differently. For neurodivergent folx, the pressure to "mask" can make exploring your LGBTQ+ identity, Kink, or Polyamory feel overwhelming. Perhaps you struggle with the unspoken rules of dating, sensory overwhelm during physical intimacy, or finding a partner who respects your unique boundaries. I work with individuals and couples who are tired of being misunderstood and are ready to build a life that honors their authentic, neurodivergent selves.

I believe all parts of you hold wisdom. I am here to help you discover the resources you have within and around you, so that you may better move toward the life you want. This may look like learning to hear the wisdom and underlying needs that are communicated by your anxiety or body tensions. Or it may look like acknowledging, grieving, and moving past trauma responses that once served you but are now keeping you stuck. Maybe you seek more connectedness with yourself, your relationships, your work, your sense of purpose, or your spirituality.

You may feel stuck repeating the same old patterns that ultimately sabotage you from experiencing joy in your life. You are not alone and there IS HOPE.
