I am an AuDHD, queer, nonbinary, and white multicultural therapist offering affirming online therapy throughout California. My practice is rooted in both personal and clinical experience, focusing on neurodivergence, trauma, trans and nonbinary experiences, non-monogamous and mixed-neurotype relationships, and navigating burnout in all areas of life under capitalism. I know how isolating it can feel when you’re misunderstood, especially when living with trauma or marginalized identities. Healing isn’t just about what happens in therapy; it’s also about finding connection and belonging in the world outside of it.
I use Narrative Therapy (helping you shape your own story), and I also draw from: Somatic (listening to your body for emotional clarity), Brainspotting (born from EMDR, using eye positions to process trauma), Gestalt (focusing on the here and now and honoring survival strategies), Parts Work (holding different parts of yourself, even when they conflict).
I also am available to write gender affirming surgery letters after one session. It’s an honor to support my clients in designing lives that truly fit them. I am kink-knowledgable, body-neutral, culturally responsive, and social justice-oriented. I am currently employed and supervised by Van Ethan Levy (they, elle) LMFT 118131 & LPCC 8269.
