We can't always choose our burdens, but we can choose how we carry them. Some of us learned the only way to protect ourselves was to isolate, not getting out of bed, endlessly scrolling, and pulling away from the world. Some learned to be on alert, plan for the worst, be ready to fight, and never let their guard down. The good news is we aren't destined to repeat the same patterns for the rest of our lives. Learning to trust ourselves and protect ourselves in healthy ways rather than harmful ways is possible and more available than we think. I have many years of experience with psychedelic integration therapy & integrating NOSC.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and young adults (18-25). I also treat individuals, couples, and families who struggle with transitional issues throughout the life cycle.

Everyone craves to be seen, heard, and understood. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, we see the mind as made up of “parts” - the different feelings, thoughts, and voices of our inner world. Some carry stories of grief and shame from past wounds, while others take on protective roles in forms like self-criticism and isolation. Queer and neurodivergent-affirming IFS therapy will help you connect with a calm and secure place within where you can hear your own wise voice. I will support you in connecting with the beautiful heirlooms of ease, clarity, and self-trust that have been lost in the silenced history of our communities.
